St. Martin de Porres was born the illegitimate son of a Spanish - TopicsExpress



          

St. Martin de Porres was born the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and a former African slave. In his humility, he himself did not aspire to great things - at least not as the world measures greatness. Yet it was precisely his humility that enabled him to scale the heights of sanctity, serving as porter and medic to his Dominican community in Lima, Peru. St. Martin is a quintessential example of how God brings down the proud and lifts up the lowly. Through his intercession may all outcasts find their true dignity as children of God.
