Saint Martin de Porres,
your concern and charity embraced
not only your needy brethren,
but also the animals of the field.
You are a splendid example of charity;
we thank and praise you.
From above, hear the requests
of your needy brethren.
By modelling our lives after yours,
and imitating your virtues,
may we live content knowing that
God has looked favorably upon us.
Because this is so, we can accept
our burdens with strength and courage
in order to follow in the footsteps
of our Lord and the Blessed Mother.
May we reach the Kingdom of Heaven
through the intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
