"Siguen a los santos, porque los que los sigan se convertirán en santos". ~ Papa Clemente I

SAN MARTÍN DE PORRES (1579-1639)
3 de noviembre

Martín nació en Lima, Perú; era hijo ilegítimo de un noble español y un esclavo africano liberado. Dos años después nació una hermana y su padre los abandonó. Su madre trabaja en la lavandería para mantener a sus hijos. Martín tuvo dos años de educación primaria, y luego aprendió tanto las artes médicas como el oficio de barbero-cirujano. A los quince años, se ofreció como voluntario con los dominicos, cuidando a los enfermos, lavando la ropa y cocinando; y continuó sus habilidades adquiridas de barbería y curación.

Siendo mestizo, no podía, por ley, entrar en la vida religiosa; en 1603, sin embargo, el prior le permitió hacer sus votos como dominico laico. Finalmente, Martín fue asignado a la enfermería, desempeñando sus funciones con mucho cuidado y paciencia, y sin perjuicio tanto para los nobles como para los esclavos. Acogía a pobres que no tenían quien los cuidara, acogiéndolos en su propia habitación, lo que motivó que fuera reprendido por el prior por el riesgo de contagio, a lo que éste respondió: “Perdona mi error, y por favor instrúyeme” porque no sabía que el precepto de obediencia prevalecía sobre el de caridad”.

A lo largo de su vida, Martín ayunó, se abstuvo de comer carne y pasó horas en oración. Pidió limosna para pagar a los pobres e incluso tenía fondos excedentes para dárselos a los indigentes. Se le atribuyeron milagros durante su vida: levitación, bilocación, curas instantáneas y comunicación con los animales. Un mes después de cumplir 59 años, enfermó con escalofríos, fiebres y temblores que se prolongaron durante casi un año y provocaron su muerte. Llegaron informes de milagros y gracias recibidas por quienes invocaron su intercesión. Veinticinco años después de su muerte, se encontró que su cuerpo estaba intacto. Fue beatificado en 1837 por el Papa Gregorio XVI y canonizado por el Papa Juan XXIII en 1962.

"Follow the saints, because those who follow them will become saints." ~ Pope Clement I

SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES (1579-1639)
November 3

Martin was born in Lima, Peru; he was the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and a freed African slave. Two years later, a sister was born and their father abandoned them. Their mother tool in laundry to support her children. Martin had two years of elementary education, and then learned both the medical arts and trade of a barber-surgeon. At fifteen, he volunteered with the Dominicans, caring for the sick, doing laundry, and cooking; and continued his acquired skills of barbering and healing.

Being of mixed race, he could not, by law, enter religious life; in 1603, however, the prior allowed him to make his vows as a lay Dominican. Eventually, Martin was assigned to the infirmary, performing his duties with much care and patience, and without prejudice to nobles and slaves alike. He took in poor people who had no one to care for them, taking them in his own room, which caused him to be reprimanded by the prior because of the risk of contagion, to which he replied, “Forgive my error, and please instruct me, for I did not know that the precept of obedience took precedence over that of charity.”

Throughout his life, Martin fasted and abstained from meat, and spent hours in prayer. He begged for alms to fee the poor and even had surplus funds to give to the indigent. Miracles were attributed to him during his life - levitation, bilocation, instantaneous cures, and communicating with animals. A month after he turned 59, he became ill with chills, fevers and tremors which lasted for almost a year leading to his death. Reports of miracles and graces received by those who invoked his intercession poured in. Twenty-five years after his death, his body was found to be intact. He was beatified in 1837 by Pope Gregory XVI and canonized by Pope John XXIII in 1962.
