The Example of St. Martin de Porres

Columban Daily Prayer
November 3, 2026

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.
