Saturday – 18th Week of Ordinary Time B – Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr
Today, as we gather to celebrate the feast of Saint Lawrence, we remember a man whose life exemplified the teachings of Christ, particularly those we hear in today's readings from Second Corinthians and the Gospel of John. Saint Lawrence, a deacon in the early Church, was known for his unwavering faith, charity, and ultimately his martyrdom for the sake of Christ.
