St. Martin De Porres is a biographical book written by Richard Cushing. It tells the story of Martin De Porres, a Dominican lay brother who lived in Lima, Peru during the 16th century. Martin was born to a Spanish father and a freed slave mother, and was raised in poverty. Despite facing discrimination due to his mixed-race heritage, Martin was determined to serve God and help others. He joined the Dominican order and became known for his acts of charity and healing, which included caring for the sick, feeding the hungry, and even taming wild animals. Martin was also known for his devotion to prayer and his humility. He was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1962, and is now recognized as the patron saint of social justice and racial harmony. The book provides an inspiring account of Martin's life, and highlights his message of love and compassion for all people, regardless of their background or status.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
