V04: Prayer to Saint Martin

Most glorious Martin De Porres whose burning charity embraced not only thy needy
brethren, 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 brethren 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.
