TRIDUUM TO ST. MARTIN DE PORRES

Feast Day Triduum: November 4, 5, & 6, 2002

First Day: St. Martin, you always had sympathy for the poor and those who were suffering.  I need your help and now ask for it with great confidence in your goodness and power.  Please remember me, as you adore God.  Amen.  

(Mention your petitions, followed by the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and Closing Prayer.) 

Closing Prayer: Dear St. Martin, I turn to you in my sorrow and anxiety to seek your friendly protection.  Please intercede for me with our merciful Father in heaven so that I may be truly sorry for all my sins and be freed from the evils that shackle me.  Ask that I might have something of your spirit of love and self-sacrifice, and so be at all times reconciled to God’s holy will.  Oh heavenly Father, in the name of your Son and of His blessed Mother, and by the merits of your faithful servant Martin, help me in my trouble and do not forsake me.  Amen.

Second Day: St. Martin, we praise God for the manifestation of His love.  The favors you received from God encourage us now to seek your intercession and help.  We ask you most humbly to befriend and assist us from your place in heaven; but most of all, we beg you to commend us to our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen. 

(Petitions, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and Closing Prayer.)

Third Day: Brother Martin, when you were here on earth, you spent your life loving God and your neighbor.   This we know from the testimony of your own Dominican brethren.  Now that you live in the presence of God in paradise, intercede for those who stand so much in need of the healing help of God and beg the Divine Physician to give us health of the soul and body.   Amen.

(Petitions, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and Closing Prayer.)
