Umntu ongafuni ukuya empini ngenxa yesazela owayefuna ukuba yimonki; imonki eye yenziwa ukuba ibe ngubhishophu; ubishophu owayesilwa nobuhedeni kwaye ebongoza abahedeni ukuba benzele inceba: wayenguMartin waseTours, enye yeengcwele ezaziwayo kwaye wayengomnye wabokuqala ukungabi ngumfeli-nkolo.
Uzalelwe kubazali abangabahedeni kwiHungary yanamhlanje kwaye wakhulela e-Italiya, unyana weli gqala wanyanzelwa ukuba aye emkhosini eneminyaka eli-15. UMartin waba ngumkatekhumeni ongumKristu kwaye wabhaptizwa xa wayeneminyaka eli-18. Kwakusithiwa uphila ngokungathi yimonki kunejoni. Xa wayeneminyaka engama-23 ubudala, wala ibhonasi yemfazwe waza wathi kumphathi-mkhosi wakhe: “Ndikukhonze njengejoni; ngoku mandikhonze uKristu. Banike umvuzo abo balwa. Kodwa ndilijoni likaKrestu kwaye andivumelekanga ukuba ndilwe “. Emva kobunzima obukhulu, wakhululwa kwaye waya kuba ngumfundi kaHilary wasePoitiers.
Waye wamiselwa i-exorcist kwaye wasebenza ngenzondelelo enkulu ngokuchasene nama-Aryan. UMartino waba yimonki, ehlala kuqala eMilan emva koko kwisiqithi esincinci. Xa uHilary wabuyiselwa esihlalweni sakhe emva kokuthinjwa kwakhe, uMartin wabuyela eFrance waseka isenokuba yayiyindlu yokuqala yeemonki yaseFrance kufutshane nasePoitiers. Wahlala apho kangangeminyaka eli-10, eqeqesha abafundi bakhe eshumayela nasezilalini.
Abantu baseTours bafuna ukuba abe ngubhishophu wabo. UMartin watsalwa kweso sixeko ngeqhinga - isidingo somntu ogulayo-kwaye wasiwa ecaweni, apho wavuma ngokuzithandela ukuba abe ngubhishophu ozinikeleyo. Abanye babhishophu abangcwalisayo babecinga ukuba ukubonakala kwakhe okumdaka kunye neenwele eziqholiweyo zibonisa ukuba akanasidima ngokwaneleyo e-ofisini.
Kunye neSt. Ambrose, uMartin wawuchasa umthetho-siseko ka-Bhishophu Ithacius wokubulala abaqhekeki, kunye nokungena komlawuli kwimicimbi enjalo. Wakholisa umlawuli ukuba abusindise ubomi bomPriscillian ongumqhekeki. Ngenxa yemigudu yakhe, uMartin watyholwa ngokukhohlisa okufanayo kwaye uPriscillian wabulawa emva koko. Emva koko uMartin wacela ukuba ipheliswe intshutshiso yabalandeli bakaPriscillian eSpain. Wayevakalelwa kukuba angasebenzisana no-Ithacius kwezinye iindawo, kodwa isazela sakhe samkhathaza kamva ngesi sigqibo.
Njengoko ukufa kwakusondela, abalandeli bakaMartin bamcenga ukuba angabashiyi. Wathandaza wathi, “Nkosi, ukuba abantu bakho basandidinga, andiwukhanyeli lo msebenzi. Intando yakho mayenziwe. "

Ukuba sikhetha ukuya emantla, ngekhe sazi ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba siye empuma, entshona okanye emazantsi.
