Hey everyone, Father Martins here. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to all who have communicated concern for my broken ribs.

I'm managing, but I'm still in a lot of pain. Even after two weeks, it feels like day one of my fall.

Because I'm on this major tour with the Relics of St. Jude, I can't just sit somewhere and heal.

I have to keep moving.

I have surely felt the effects of your prayers.

They are what keep me going.

But your prayers are needed now more than ever.

Yesterday was the worldwide release of my new book, and I received a phone call from my book

agent who has worked tirelessly to make my publication a worldwide phenomenon. He's a wonderful

man of God who loves Christ with all his heart. He is also a powerful influence in the literary

world, representing some of the most widely read Christian authors worldwide.

At 3 a.m., he awoke to water gushing in his home. A pipe had burst, and water was spewing out,

and the first floor was already underwater. As he moved downstairs to shut off the water main,

he slipped on the tile floor,

landing on his hip and hitting his head.

The top of his head currently sports an inch and a half gash, and he has badly bruised.

He and I are the team that put this book out.

The fact that both of us had falls on the cusp of the book's release,

along with the fact that it was at 3 a.m.,

the inverse of the hour of glory when our Lord died on the cross, that he was awoken,

and that it was specifically a manifestation of water, the meaning of which I will speak about in a future episode,

all speaks of one thing.
