Martin de Porres

Also known as Martin of Charity; the Saint of the Broom (for his devotion to his work, no matter how menial) Memorial 3 November Profile The illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman, Juan, and a young freed black slave , Anna Velasquez, Martin grew up in poverty . He spent part of his youth with a surgeon -barber from whom he learned some medicine and care of the sick .
At age 11 he became a servant in the Holy Rosary Dominican priory in Lima , Peru . Promoted to almoner , he begged more than $2,000 a week from the rich to support the poor and sick of Lima . Placed in charge of the Dominican 's infirmary ; known for his tender care of the sick and for his spectacular cures . His superiors dropped the stipulation that "no black person may be received to the holy habit or profession of our order" and Martin took vows as a Dominican brother in 1603 .
Established an orphanage and children 's hospital for the poor children of the slums. Set up a shelter for the stray cats and dogs and nursed them back to health. Lived in self-imposed austerity, never ate meat, fasted continuously, and spent much time in prayer and meditation with a great devotion to the Holy Eucharist . Friend of Saint John de Massias .
He was venerated from the day of his death. Many miraculous cures, including raising the dead attributed to Brother Martin. First black saint from the Americas.
