Saint Martin de Porres, a saint for all people and all times, has an especially relevant message for contemporary Christians. In this book, the reader will discover the cruelty of the time during which Saint Martin lived, a time marked by racism and the destruction of culture, and Martin's radical, simple, and peaceful responses to those conditions. Yet Saint Martin, a model for dealing with peace and social justice issues, is also a model of finding holiness in the little things of life. Martin was neither a preacher nor a writer. His greatness lies in the testimony of his 'little way' of life: simple kindness, faithfulness in prayer, and his ability to turn suffering and oppression into an encounter with God.
