I ' C-if f- F- ' rd- 'f 1, V' ' , I 5,47 ua AT Lima, in The Priory oT The IvIosT I-Ioly Rosary, in The Peruvian province oT ST. John, There has died a man oT wonderTuI virTue and holi- ness, BroTher IvIarTin De Porres. I-Iis heroic chariTy sTood especially in his services To his sick breThren. I-Ie was an example in every poinT oT Reli- gious l.iTe, and was Tor everyone in Lima, a paTTern oT virTue, a mirror oT holy conducT. So read The documenT ThaT TirsT made Blessed IvIarTin's deaTh, in I639, known To The Dominican Order aT large. I 4 I-Iis birTh in I579 was one ol Gib- scuriTy. I-Iis early liTe was filled wiTh poverTy and some oT The mosT sordid condiTions. IT was, perhaps, during Those impressionable years oT his youTh ThaT The seed oT compassion Tor his Tellow men was TirsT inSTilleCl in him. From ThaT Time on, MarTin gave sTriking indicaTions oT his TuTure sancTiTy. I-Ie kepT close To God, and wiTh The help oT Divine Grace he de- veloped, amidsT The very sgualor oT Lima, ThaT remarkable piTy and ap- preciaTion Tor human suTTering which was To characTerize his enTire liTe. AT The age oT TwenTy-Tour he dedi- caTed his IiTe To religion. IT is noT known wheTher he ever adorned The habiT oT priesThood Tor in Those days MuIaTTos were considered ouTcasTs, buT he had The singular privilege oT being permiTTed To Take solemn vows. IT was Then ThaT he became known as The FaTher oT The Poor. Once he discovered an old beggar covered wiTh inTecTed sores. I-Ie car- ried him To his room and puT him in his own bed. I-Ie provided The poor beggar wiTh everyThing he needed and Tenderly nursed him back To healTh. MarTin was severely criTicized by one oT The BroThers who gruTTly asserTed ThaT he should noT have puT such a disgusTingly dirTy man in his bed. IvIarTin replied, Compassion, my dear BroTher, is preTerabIe To cleanliness. Remember ThaT I can easily cleanse my sheeTs wiTh a liTTle soap, buT no TorrenT oT Tears could wash oTT my soul The sTain ThaT would have been made There by an unkind- ness To The unTorTunaTe. This siTuaTion was Typical oT Bless- ed Iv1arTin. IT occurred noT once, noT Twice, buT day aTTer day. IT was, perhaps, due To incidenTs such as These ThaT he became known as one who could cure The sick and iniuredg one who could perTorm miracles. This was his conTribuTion To The people oT Lima. SensaTionaI? World- shaking? ..... No. IT was quieT and simple, buT wiThouT a doubT iT was greaT.
