Prayer to St. Martin de Porres 

Most humble Martin de Porres,

your burning charity embraced not only the poor and needy but even the animals of the field.

For your splendid example of charity, we honour you and invoke your help.

From your place in heaven, hear the requests of your needy brethren,

so that, by imitating your virtues we may live contentedly in that state in which God has placed us.

And carrying our cross with strength and courage,

may we follow in the footsteps of our Blessed Redeemer and His most sorrowful mother,

so that at last we may reach the kingdom of heaven through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
