Saint of the day
Optional
St Martin I
(d. 655) Pope who condemned the Monothelite heresy at the Lateran without imperial permission. The emperor Constans II had him seized, tried for treason, and exiled to the Crimea, where he died of hunger and neglect — the last pope venerated as martyr.
Saint Martin, pope in chains, pray that we hold the faith when abandoned.

Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
