St. Martín de Porres (1579-1639) was a Peruvian mystic, the son of a freed black slave and a Spanish nobleman, who despite the discrimination he suffered for the color of his skin, never lost his humility or his great peace. His mystical life of bilocation, levitation, instances of glowing, and numerous miracles were known only to those who witnessed or experienced them, since he seemingly never wrote any of it down and never tried to explain it. However, it was his great humility, the legend of which has endured for centuries since his death, that has endeared him to his followers and led to his canonization in 1962.
