“Martin was eighteen years old when he received the sacrament of holy baptism. At the pleading of his superior officer, he remained two years longer in the army. Then, upon requesting dismissal, Julian accused him of cowardice. “With the sign of the Cross,” Martin answered, “I shall more certainly break through the ranks of the enemy than if armed with shield and sword.”
