Prayer to San Martin de Porres

prayer
O humble Saint Martin de Porres
you are the patron of social justice.
You spent your whole life in Peru
as a laborer and dedicated yourself
to unyielding acts of contrition.
Our Lord blessed you
with spiritual wisdom
and a generous, loving heart
that you freely shared with your fellow neighbor
and all the animals of he earth.
You doctored the sick,
fed the hungry and gave
safe refuge to the oppressed.
Guide me to use my gifts to help others who need
someone to stand up for them.
Amen.
