Description
As the first black saint in the Americas, St. Martin de Porres is known as the patron saint of racial and social inequality, as well as barbers, hairdressers, and radio. A Dominican, he stands in traditional garb holding the crucifix and a broom. The broom depicts his famous quote: “Everything, even sweeping, picking vegetables, weeding a garden and waiting on the sick could be a prayer, if it were offered to God.” In the background are translucent triangles, reminiscent of the tall Andes mountains in Porres’s hometown of Lima, Peru.
St. Pope John XIII had a different name for him: “He rightly deserved to be called by the name the people gave him: Martin of Charity”. May we call on him even more in months and years to come, and follow his lead as we put charity above all else.
