Most glorious Martin De Porres
whose burning charity
embraced not only thy needy
brethern, but also the very
animals of the field, splendid
example of charity, we hail thee
and invoke thee! From that high
throne which thou dost occupy,
deign to listen to the
supplications of thy needy
brethern that, by imitating thy
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 in 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
