"For all Christians and those who BELIEVE - A MUST SEE MOVIE!! At times we may complain about our own sacrifices and pain when in reality we forget why perserverance and patience is so important in life. Fray Martin de Porres is a movie of TRUE LOVE FOR GOD, true sacrifice and perserverance which evidently gives TRUE HOPE IN GOD. Treat your heart, soul and mind to this beautiful food of love, devotion and sacrifice - your faith can only increase."

"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."

"
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."
