Feast of St. Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr. 2 Cor. 9:6-10; John 12:24-26

Die and bear fruits!

While preaching on the feast of St. Lawrence, St. Augustine said: 'Just as Christ laid down his life for us, so we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.' Diying the true process to life. Lawrence understood this, and he acted on it. In his life, he loved Christ; in his death, he followed in his footsteps." After sharing his life generously with the most vulnerable, he was roasted alive under the persecutions of Valarian around 258AD. Serving the most vulnerable is the true wealth of the Church.

Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us.
