Humble Heroes

"No sword of their own won the land; no arm of their own brought them victory. It was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your face: for You loved them"(Psalm 44). The humble and holy ones overcome the powers of evil, because they rely not upon themselves but upon the grace of God. They are humble and realize their need for God. For, no sheer act of will can make a man a hero; only humble cooperation with God's grace can do this. Ask God to make you a saint. He will!

Saint Martin de Porres

Let us proclaim the greatness of the Lord, for with heavenly gifts he has raised up his lowly servant Martin. -Liturgy of the Hours, Magnificat Antiphon, November 3: St. Martin de Porres

Just one reading of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings is enough to convince one that St. Martin de Porres is indeed a Humble Hero.
