REFLECTION:
I shall never renounce my faith because I am a Christian, and I shall die for God, and for Him I would give my life again and again if I could.
And so, do with me as you please.
(St Lawrence)
Glorious St Lawrence, help me to act as if each day is a new life I have to give for God. Amen.
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who know how courageously your holy martyr Lawrence confessed the faith, may experience his goodness as he intercedes for us with you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
