Feast of St. Martin de Porres

Message from St. Martin de Porres given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Martin de Porres says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I have come to offer some guidelines towards personal holiness. Never seek to be important or held in esteem in the eyes of man. Let suffering and good works be always in the background. To be patient is a sign of great humility."

"Always be a good listener. Be generous in expressing gratitude and in offering compliments when they are due. Be prudent in the time and place, even of constructive criticism."

"Always search for ways to help others; not so as to receive their indebtedness, but so as to be 'Jesus' to them."

"Prayer is a generous gift to be given in the silence of your heart."
