Product Description

Fray Martin de Porres is an inspirational story about a miracle worker who rises above the evils of discrimination and heals thousands. His devotion and extraordinary cures led his superiors to eliminate the racial limits on admission to the Order and, after 9 years at the convent, he was made a full Dominican brother.

Fray Martín de Porres, Santo peruano venerado en muchos países, nació el 9 de diciembre de 1579. En esta inspiradora película se destaca su labor social y humana.

En su vida, Martín pronto es conocido por su generosidad y por las curaciones que logra con sus hierbas medicinales. Entra en el Convento Dominico del Rosario a la edad de 15 años; donde pasa horas barriendo, por lo que se le llama "Fray Escoba".

En 1603, nueve años después de entrar al convento, sus superiores eliminan los límites raciales en la admisión a la Orden y es aceptado y ordenado en la Orden Dominica.

Very Inspirational
This was a very authentic, well acted movie on the life of St. Martin de Porres. Even though it was in Spanish with English subtitles, the acting was done so well that you easily understood what was going on without the subtitles. I have watched it so much I may have to get another copy! Buy it, you won't be sorry.

FRAY martin de PORRES

A beautiful portrayal of a favorite saint. His deep humility shines through every scene. The movie brings out his love of animals, especially the mice and rats that overran the monastery. I will watch it again and again.
