"Everything could be a prayer if it were offered to God." -St. Martin de Porres
St. Martin de Porres was marginalized during his life because of his mixed race- but he didn't allow prejudice and racism to stop him from becoming a Saint! A powerful example of forgiveness and the power of not allowing other's to mold our hearts. His heart was made for Jesus and love- and he wouldn't allow other's hate to tarnish him. An animal lover, healer, miracle worker, and sure to become one of your favorite saints!
Teach your children about courage and strength of spirit! Introduce the story of St. Martin using the educational insert in the box. Encourage children to consider what it means to be treated badly by others, but still maintain your inner peace. Our value comes from being a child of God, not from other people's opinions. Great for opening discussions about self-esteem, bullying, self-control, forgiveness, compassion, peace, faith, hope and love.
