Saint Martin de Porres Chaplet Prayers

On the Medal Pray

Most humble Martin de Porres, whose burning charity embraced not only thy needy brethren, but also the very animals of the field, splendid example of charity, we hail and invoke thee!  From that high throne which thou dost occupy, deign to listen to the supplications of thy needy brethren that, by imitating thy virtues, we may live contended in that state in which God has placed us, and, carrying our cross with strength and courage, we may follow in the footsteps of our Blessed Redeemer and His most afflicted mother, to reach at last the Kingdom of Heaven through the merits of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Pray the Our Father on Each of the First Three Beads

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.  Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.   Amen.

Pray the Hail Mary on Each of the Next Three Beads

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee.  Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

Pray the Glory Be on the Final Set of Three Beads

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.  As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be; World without end.
Amen.

On the Medal Pray

O God, Who hast given us in Thy Humble Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, the model of all virtue and perfection, grant to us the virtue of humility.  We think so little of Thee because we are so full of self.  We cannot love Thee more until humility shows us our own nothingness and makes us rejoice in our complete dependence upon Thee.  Thou hast given to the world a glorious apostle of humility, Saint Martin de Porres.  Guide us by his example and strengthen us through his intercessions in our efforts to conform our hearts to the humble Heart of Thy Crucified Son.  Renew, O Lord, in these days, when pride and forgetfulness of Thee are so widespread, the wonders which Thou didst perform through Thy humble servant, Martin de Porres, during his lifetime.  We pray that all the world may know of Saint Martin and of the surpassing value of the virtue of humility.  Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
