Tuesday 19th week of Ordinary Time


Feast of St. Lawrence 2Cor. 9:6-10

Lawrence-before-Valerianus.jpg
God loves a cheerful giver.
This was St. Lawrence.
Throughout his life, Lawrence gave.

As a Deacon he gave himself in service to the church and those in need.
10 days after Pope Sixtus II was martyred.
he gave his life in the year 258.

And he did this all joyfully,
As tradition tells us that
Lawrence was put on a grill and burned alive over an open fire.
And as he was dying he said,
“You may turn me over, I am done on this side.”

Now that is a cheerful giver!


God Bless
