Lord, if your people need me, I will not refuse the work.
-St. Martin of Tours
With the sign of the Cross, I shall more certainly break through the ranks of the enemy than if armed with shield and sword.

Patron Saint of soldiers, the poor, and tailors
Father, by his life and death Saint Martin of Tours offered you worship and praise.
Renew in our hearts the power of your love, so that neither death nor life may separate us from you.
Grant this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
