Saint Martin of Tours

Lord,

if Your people still have need of my services,

I will not avoid the toil.

Your will be done.

Indeed, I have fought the good fight long enough.

Yet if You bid me continue to hold the battle line

in defense of Your camp,

I will never beg to be excused

on account of failing strength.

I will diligently perform the tasks

that You entrust to me.

And as long as You command

I will continue to do battle under Your banner.

Amen

-- Saint Martin of Tours his prayer to continue the fight for God
