San Martín de Porres; Patrono de la Provincia del Sur Dominica
San Martín nació en Lima, Perú, en 1579. Como un mulato, que estaba en la parte inferior de la escala social, y se unió a la orden Dominica como sirviente laico. En pocos años, el prior desvio las normas de admisión para permitir que Martín tomara los votos como hermano. Martin alimenta alrededor de 160 personas cada día con las limosnas que recaudaba. Ayunó y oró con abandono. Cuando el convento necesitaba para pagar una deuda, Martin ofreció humildemente: "Sólo soy un pobre mulato ... Véndame." A su muerte en 1639, los grandes personajes de Lima llegó a presentar sus respetos. San Martín de Porres fue canonizado en 1962 por el Papa Juan XXIII.
San Martín de Porres nació en Lima, Perú, el 9 de diciembre de 1579. Era hijo ilegítimo de un caballero español y un esclavo liberado de Panamá, de ascendencia africana o posiblemente nativo americano. En una edad joven, el padre de Martin él y su familia abandonó dejando Martin a crecer en la pobreza profunda. Él experimentó una gran cantidad de burlas por ser de raza mixta. En Perú, por ley, todos los descendientes de africanos o indios no se les permitió convertirse en miembros de pleno derecho de las órdenes religiosas. Martin, que pasaba largas horas en oración, encontró su única manera en la comunidad que anhelaba era preguntar a
los dominicanos de Santo Rosario Priorato en Lima a aceptarlo como un voluntario que realiza las tareas más baja categoría en el monasterio. Por 1603, se convirtió en un hermano lego Dominicana. Diez años más tarde se le asignó a la enfermería donde permanecería en el cargo hasta su muerte. Se hizo conocido por las virtudes que abarca necesidad de cuidar con atención y paciencia por los enfermos, incluso en las situaciones más difíciles. Martin fue elogiado por su atención incondicional de todas las personas, independientemente de la raza o la riqueza. Él se encargó de todos, desde los nobles españoles a los esclavos africanos. Martin no le importaba si era la persona enferma o sucia, les daría la bienvenida en su propia cama. la vida de Martín refleja su gran amor por Dios y todos los dones de Dios. Se dijo que tenía muchas habilidades extraordinarias, incluidas las líneas aéreas, bilocación, curas instantáneas, conocimientos milagrosa, el conocimiento espiritual y una excelente relación con los animales. Martin también fundó un orfanato para niños abandonados y esclavos y es conocido por aumentar la dote para las chicas jóvenes en cortos períodos de tiempo. En enero de 1639, cuando Martin tenía 60 años de edad, se puso muy enfermo con escalofríos, fiebre y temblores le causan dolor agonizante que había experimentado hasta su muerte el 3 de noviembre, 1639.
