Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans' Day in the United States.
Let us pray for the honored dead, the wounded, the past and the active troops of our nation.
We call upon the intercession of St. Martin, the soldier, whose feast we keep today.
TIP of the MORNING: "The prudent man considers things afar off, in so far as they tend to be a help or a hindrance to that which has to be done at the present time. Hence it is clear that those things which prudence considers stand in relation to this other, as in relation to the end." Saint Thomas, Aquinas, ST 2.2.47.1
To see things prudently, ask yourself: "How does what I do right now tend to the goals I have for school, for life, and for salvation?"
