“Death could not defeat him nor toil dismay him.St Martin of Tours He was quite without a preference of his own; he neither feared to die nor refused to live. With eyes and hands always raised to heaven, he never withdrew his unconquered spirit from prayer.”

                                  ~from Sulpicius Severus on                                   St. Martin of Tours
