The Novena to St. Martin de Porres is a sacred prayer devotion that calls upon the intercession of one of the Church's most humble and compassionate saints. Born in Lima, Peru, St. Martin was known for his deep humility, charity, and miraculous healings. Though he lived in a world divided by social and racial barriers, he dedicated his life to serving the poor, the sick, and those marginalized by society. The novena to this remarkable saint is not only a plea for personal help but also an invitation to embrace the virtues that he embodied-humility, service, and unwavering faith in God's mercy.
When we pray the Novena to St. Martin de Porres, we are invoking the intercession of a saint whose life was marked by extraordinary compassion. Known as the "Saint of the Broom" due to his humble work as a lay brother who often cleaned the monastery, St. Martin performed miracles of healing and help for people and animals alike. His acts of mercy transcended human limitations, healing the sick, curing diseases, and even multiplying food to feed the hungry. The novena allows us to ask for his intercession, trusting that through him, God's healing and provision will be granted in our own lives.
