Quote/s of the Day – 11 November – St Martin of Tours (c316-397) “Martin the Merciful,” Bishop, Confessor, Miracle-Worker.
“Hitherto I have served you as a soldier;
allow me now to become a soldier of God.
Let the man who is to serve you
receive your largesse.
I am a soldier of Christ;
combat is not permitted me.”
“In the Name of the Lord Jesus
and protected only
by the Sign of the Cross,
without shield or helmet,
I shall penetrate the enemy’s ranks
and not be afraid.”
I Will Fight Beneath Thy Banner, Lord
Prayer of St Martin of Tours (c316-397)
Lord, if Thy people still have need
of my services,
I will not avoid the toil.
Thy Will be done.
I have fought the good fight long enough.
Yet, if Thou bid me continue, to hold
the battle line in defence
of Thy camp,
I will never beg to be excused
from failing strength.
I will do the work Thou entrust to me.
While Thou command,,
I will fight beneath Thy banner.
Amen
St Martin of Tours (c 316-397)
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
