Portrait of Shirley Smith hanging
in St Vincent's
The lamp of the body is the eye.
Matthew, 6:22
Shirley Smith's great hero and patron
saint was Martin de Porres. Martin was a mixed race Dominican brother
and barber-surgeon who lived 400 years ago in Lima, Peru. According
to Martin's neighbors 400 years ago in Lima, Martin cured and protected
people, animals and church mice. Take a look at St. Martin's holy
card and you'll see the church mouse.
Perhaps St Martin, with Mum Shirl's
help, is still guiding church mice today.
Thank you, Kathy H.
