Charmed by this beautiful San Martin de Porres santos hand-painted in Peru! Born December 9, 1579 in Lima, Peru, St. Martin de Porres is best known for his charitable work. It was his piety that allowed him access to the Dominican order of his country, and his acts of compassion for the sick became part of the justification for his canonization as the first black saint of the Americas. You may also find it of interest, that it was a depiction of St Martin de Porres that was featured in Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” music video.

I really believe that God provides. He has been providing some unique affirmation in a time when I’ve really needed it.

I received this very beautiful gift in the mail from a dear friend. It really spoke to my heart about this deep process of healing. Gracias amiga.

This quote from the attached card really stuck out to me:

“Our Lady will hold you close to her heart. She will embrace you in her hands, and she will call you her own. Flowers will bloom from your brokenness and rays of light will exude from within. He makes you new again you see. And she holds you while you become truly free.” ♥️
