Even so, his mother begged the church fathers to allow him into the priesthood. Instead, Martin was accepted as a servant boy. But soon, the young man was performing miracles. Rumors began to fly around the city of a strange mulatto boy with healing hands, who gave first to the people of the \u003ci\u003ebarrios\u003c\/i\u003e. Martin continued to serve in the church, until he was finally received by the Dominican Order, no longer called the worthless son of a slave, but rather a saint and the rose in the desert.","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45150483644567,"sku":"9780547612188","price":1467.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780547612188.webp?v=1767295725","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/martin-de-porres-the-rose-in-the-desert-9780547612188","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
