St Martin de Porres 🙏🏻🤍 ✝️🐶

San Martín de Porres was born on December 9, 1579, in Lima, Peru, during the time of Spanish colonial rule. He was the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman, Juan de Porres, and a freed slave woman from Panama, Ana Velázquez. San Martín grew up in poverty and faced discrimination due to his mixed-race heritage.
From a young age, San Martín showed a deep compassion for the poor and the sick. Despite facing challenges and prejudice, he was determined to dedicate his life to serving others. At the age of 15, he joined the Dominican Order as a lay brother, working as a servant and performing menial tasks in the monastery.
San Martín's humility, piety, and selflessness soon became evident to his fellow friars and to the people of Lima. He devoted himself to prayer, fasting, and serving the poor, often going beyond the call of duty to help those in need. He cared for the sick, fed the hungry, and provided comfort to the suffering.
San Martín's reputation for holiness and miraculous deeds grew over time. It was said that he had the gift of healing, and many people sought his intercession for their ailments. He was also known for his ability to communicate with animals and for his deep love and compassion for all living creatures.
Despite his lowly position in society, San Martín became a beloved figure in Lima and beyond. He was known as a miracle worker and a symbol of hope for the poor and the marginalized. Countless stories of his miracles and acts of charity spread throughout Peru and beyond.
San Martín de Porres died on November 3, 1639, at the age of 59. He was canonized as a saint by Pope John XXIII in 1962, becoming the first black saint from the Americas. Today, he is venerated as the patron saint of racial harmony, social justice, and those who work for the poor and the oppressed. His feast day is celebrated on November 3rd each year, commemorating his life and legacy of love, compassion, and service to others.

SAN MARTIN, ORA POR NOBIS

[@FaithfullyYoursHRJ]

Forgive my sins,
0 my God, forgive my sins: the sins of youth, the sins of age, the sins of my soul and the sins of my body, the sins which, through frailty, I have committed, my deliberate and grievous sins, the sins I know
and the sins I do not know, the sins I have laboured so long to hide from others, that now they are hidden from my own memory.
Let me be absolved from all these iniquities and delivered from the bond of all these evils, by the Life, Passion and Death of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen
St Martin please pray for me and help me
