Most humble, St. Martin de Porres, whose burning charity embraced not only the needy brethren, but also the very animals in the field. Splendid example of charity, we hail thee and invoke thee, from the high Throne which You now occupy. Deign to listen to the supplications of Your brethren, that by imitating Your virtues, we may live contented in that state in which God has placed us, and carrying with strength and courage our cross, we may follow the footsteps of our Blessed Redeemer and His Most Afflicted Mother, that, at last, we may reach the kingdom of Heaven, through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
