Oh! Fr. Felix Onemheghie is sure doing much good at St. Dominic, especially when one considers the enormity of the Parish and the large number of Out-stations and Chaplaincies it supports.

My God continue to bless him for us. Amen!

Dear friends,

Please join us in prayer for the 1000 that will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation today at St. Dominic. They come from various Parishes in the Mainland Deanery.

Let us pray that they may live out their faith as true soldiers of Christ and his Church all the days of their lives. Amen.

I pray God to grant them the grace to be true to their faith, live as soldiers of Christ which the grace God will bestow on them through the sacrament of confirmation today will make them. Run their race and see God after their sojourn on earth, through Christ our Lord.

St. Martin de Porres (1579-1639)
"Father unknown" is the cold legal phrase
sometimes used on baptismal records. "Half-
breed" or "war souvenir" is the cruel name
inflicted by those of "pure" blood. Like many
others, Martin might have grown to be a
bitter man, but he did not. It was said that
even as a child he gave his heart and his
goods to the poor and despised.
He was the son of a freed woman of Panama,
probably black but also possibly of Native
American stock, and a Spanish grandee of
Lima, Peru. His parents never married each
other. Martin inherited the features and dark
complexion of his mother. That irked his
father, who finally acknowledged his son
after eight years. After the birth of a sister, the
father abandoned the family. Martin was
reared in poverty, locked into a low level of
Lima’s society.
When he was 12, his mother apprenticed him
to a barber-surgeon. He learned how to cut
hair and also how to draw blood (a standard
medical treatment then), care for wounds and
prepare and administer medicines.
After a few years in this medical apostolate,
Martin applied to the Dominicans to be a "lay
helper," not feeling himself worthy to be a
religious brother. After nine years, the
example of his prayer and penance, charity
and humility led the community to request
him to make full religious profession. Many of
his nights were spent in prayer and
penitential practices; his days were filled with
nursing the sick and caring for the poor. It
was particularly impressive that he treated all
people regardless of their color, race or
status. He was instrumental in founding an
orphanage, took care of slaves brought from
Africa and managed the daily alms of the
priory with practicality as well as generosity.
He became the procurator for both priory and
city, whether it was a matter of "blankets,
shirts, candles, candy, miracles or prayers!"
When his priory was in debt, he said, "I am
only a poor mulatto. Sell me. I am the property
of the order. Sell me."
Side by side with his daily work in the kitchen,
laundry and infirmary, Martin’s life reflected
God’s extraordinary gifts: ecstasies that lifted
him into the air, light filling the room where
he prayed, bilocation, miraculous knowledge,
instantaneous cures and a remarkable
rapport with animals. His charity extended to
beasts of the field and even to the vermin of
the kitchen. He would excuse the raids of
mice and rats on the grounds that they were
underfed; he kept stray cats and dogs at his
sister’s house.
He became a formidable fundraiser, obtaining
thousands of dollars for dowries for poor
girls so that they could marry or enter a
convent.
Many of his fellow religious took him as their
spiritual director, but he continued to call
himself a "poor slave." He was a good friend
of another Dominican saint of Peru, Rose of
Lima (August 23).

Morning bro.

It's been a spiritually enriching weekend. All Saints & All Souls Days, having the Archbishop with us for the weekend, witnessing the joy and fulfilment of those brothers and sisters, young and old as they received the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in a special way...amazing!

God be praised!

"Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head."--St. Charles Borromeo.

Today is his memorial.
