Martin de Porres’s story teaches lessons of faith, justice, and mercy. Martin’s natural compassion leads him to caring especially for animals, from feeding a stray dog as a child to miraculously convincing an infestation of rats to leave the priory. Martin’s sacrificial spirit makes him willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his brothers. Martin’s life demonstrates how we are called to exercise true charity in a broken world.
