St. Martin of Tours (11 November): Ask St. Martin to Watch Over You & Your Family

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — Amen. Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours, one of the most beloved saints of the early Church and a shining light of charity, humility, and faith. Born in the 4th century in what is now Hungary, Saint Martin served as a soldier in the Roman Legion before dedicating his life entirely to Christ. The famous story of Martin cutting his cloak in half to clothe a freezing beggar has become a timeless symbol of Christian compassion. That very night, Christ appeared to Martin, wearing the same cloak, saying, “Martin, though still a catechumen, has clothed me.” After leaving the army, Martin became a monk, later ordained by Saint Hilary of Poitiers, and eventually appointed Bishop of Tours. As bishop, he lived humbly among monks, destroying pagan temples, performing exorcisms, and even raising the dead through God’s power. His spiritual legacy lives on in the Roman Rite exorcism prayers, some of which trace directly back to Saint Martin himself. Today, we ask his intercession for bishops, for strength in faith, and for protection from evil. 🙏 Saint Martin of Tours, pray for us! 📖 Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction and Opening Prayer 0:09 – Feast of Saint Martin of Tours 0:17 – Early Life and Roman Service 0:49 – The Famous Cloak Miracle 1:07 – Christ’s Apparition to Martin 1:20 – Leaving the Legion and Becoming a Monk 1:29 – Mentorship under Saint Hilary of Poitiers 1:36 – Appointment as Bishop of Tours 1:42 – Life of Monastic Simplicity as Bishop 1:47 – Saint Martin as an Exorcist 2:00 – Ancient Roots of the Roman Exorcism Rite 2:29 – Miracles and Raising the Dead 2:36 – Destroying Pagan Shrines and Building Chapels 2:44 – Apostle of Gaul (France) 2:55 – Call to Pray for Bishops and Protection from Evil 3:12 – Closing Prayer and Blessing For more please go to http://www.veritascaritas.com & please say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #SaintMartinOfTours #CatholicSaints #FeastDay #CatholicFaith #SaintStories #ChristianHistory #CatholicChurch #MiracleOfTheCloak #BishopOfTours #ApostleOfGaul #SaintsAndMiracles #FaithAndCharity #CatholicHomily #SpiritualWarfare #TraditionalCatholic #LivesOfTheSaints #SensusFidelium #CatholicInspiration 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
