Loving God, teach us to serve without seeking recognition
and to welcome every person with dignity and compassion.
Through the example of Saint Martin de Porres,
help us see Your image in the poor, the forgotten,
and those whom society overlooks.
Free our hearts from prejudice and pride, and give us
the courage to meet suffering with practical kindness.
May our ordinary acts of service become extraordinary expressions
of Your love, bringing healing and hope to the people we encounter today.
Amen.
