Miracle of the Month St. Martin of Porres and the Mice

Fish Eaters.com

St. Martin de Porres (December 9, 1579 – November 3,

1639) was a Third Order Dominican who served the Lord in

Peru. A very holy man, he focused on caring for the poor,

establishing an orphanage and a hospital for children, for

which he was rewarded with the supernatural gifts of bilo-

cation, the ability to know things beyond the powers of

man, healing, and levitation.

But it's his way with God's creatures that makes his story

relevant to this section of the website: he was what would

be called these days an "animal whisperer," much in the

way St. Francis was.

One day, some of his fellow Dominicans, novices, brought

two bulls to the monastery. When they began to fight, St. Martin had a little talk with the beasts,

telling them to behave themselves. He brought food to them, and asked the older bull to allow

the younger bull to have his fill first. The bull obeyed -- and even kissed St. Martin's habit.

It's the story of St. Martin and the mice, though, that is most famous. The monastery became

overrun with them, which caused a lot of damage. Mice, being rodents, must chew, chew, chew

in order to keep their teeth from growing so large that they become unable to eat. In response,

St. Martin held a meeting with the furry little creatures, beckoning them to the garden, where

they met him as a group. He told the hundreds of gathered mice that if they remained outdoors,

he would care for them. And like the bulls, they, too, obeyed.

The Archdiocese

of Santa Fe Flu

Protocol

The Archbishop of Santa Fe, John C.

Wester, placed the Archdiocese of Santa Fe under

flu protocol on January 7th. This protocol remains

in effect today! This involves us only receiving

our Lord under one species only. Also, we are

not supposed to receive the Eucharist on the

tongue, only in the hand. We are not supposed to

hold hands during prayer or shake hands during the

offering of peace. We are simply supposed to bow

to each other. We must continue to follow this pro-

tocol because the flu season is not close to being

over and there are world-wide concerns over the

spread of the coronavirus. Please, let us remain

vigilant and stay the course with the flu protocol for

our own wellbeing and health until further notice.

La Arquidiócesis de

Santa Fe Protocolo

del Gripe

El Arzobispo de Santa Fe, John C.

Wester, colocó a la Arquidiócesis de Santa Fe bajo el

protocolo de la gripa el 7 de enero. ¡Este protocolo

sigue vigente hoy! Esto implica que solo recibamos a

nuestro Señor bajo una sola especie. Además, no debe-

mos recibir la Eucaristía en la lengua, solo en la mano.

Se supone que no debemos tomarnos de la mano

durante la oración o estrechar la mano durante la ofren-

da de paz. Simplemente se supone que debemos incli-

narnos el uno al otro. Debemos seguir este protocolo

porque la temporada de gripe no está cerca de terminar

y existen preocupaciones mundiales sobre la propaga-

ción del coronavirus. Por favor, permanezcamos aten-

tos y seguemos con el protocolo de la gripe para nues-

tro propio bienestar y salud hasta nuevo aviso.
