Martin de Porres: A Saint of the Americas​ - Brian J. Pierce, O.P.
Saint Martin de Porres, a saint for all people and all times, has an especially relevant message for contemporary Christians. In Martin de Porres, A Saint of the Americas, the reader will discover the cruelty of the time during which Saint Martin lived, a time marked by racism and the destruction of culture, and Martin's radical, simple, and peaceful responses to those conditions. Yet Saint Martin, a model for dealing with peace and social justice issues, is a model of finding holiness in the little things of life. A man of mixed blood and illegitimate birth, Martin lived his life blending the best of other spiritual icons: The apostolic zeal of Dominic, the simplicity and love of creation of Francis, the endless compassion for the sick and dying of Teresa of Calcutta. Martin was neither a preacher nor a writer. His greatness lies in the testimony of his "little way" of life: Simple kindnesses, faithfulness in prayer, and his ability to turn suffering and oppression into an encounter with God.

Sample
Second Day Prayer. St. Martin, we praise God for the manifestation of His love. The favors you received from God encourage us now to seek your intercession and help. We ask you most humbly to befriend and assist us from your place in heaven; but most of all, we beg you to commend us to our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

(Petitions, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and Closing Prayer.)

Closing prayer
Dear St. Martin, I turn to you in my sorrow and anxiety to seek your friendly protection. Please intercede for me with our merciful Father in heaven so that I may be truly sorry for all my sins and be freed from the evils that shackle me. Ask that I might have something of your spirit of love and self-sacrifice, and so be at all times reconciled to God's holy will. Oh heavenly Father, in the name of your Son and of His blessed Mother, and by the merits of your faithful servant Martin, help me in my trouble and do not forsake me. Amen.
