O<\/span> glorious Saint Lawrence, Martyr for the Faith, filled with compassion for those who invoke you, with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles, I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take my present need under your special protection. Vouchsafe to recommend it to our Lord Jesus. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace to one day meet God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the angels and saints praise Him through all eternity.<\/p>\n

Glorious Saint Lawrence, Martyr and Deacon, who, being subjected to the most bitter torments, didst not lose thy faith nor thy constancy in confessing Jesus Christ, obtain in like manner for us such an active and solid faith, that we shall never be ashamed to be true followers of Jesus Christ, and fervent Christians in word and in deed.<\/p>\n

V<\/strong><\/font> Most holy Saint Lawrence, pray for us
\nR<\/strong><\/font> That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.<\/p>\n

Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cKeeper of the Treasures\u201d by Deacon Lawrence Klimecki<\/p><\/div>\n

Saint Lawrence of Rome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Third-century archdeacon of Rome, distributor of alms, and \u201ckeeper of the treasures of the church\u201d in a time when Christianity was outlawed. On 6 August 258, by decree of Emperor Valerian, Pope Saint Sixtus II and six deacons were beheaded, leaving Lawrence as the ranking Church official in Rome.<\/p>\n

On 10 August Lawrence was commanded to appear for his execution, and to bring along the treasure with which he had been entrusted by the pope. When he arrived, the archdeacon was accompanied by a multitude of Rome\u2018s crippled, blind, sick, and indigent. He announced that these were the true treasures<\/a> of the Church. <\/p>\n

He was cooked to death on a gridiron on 10 August 258.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
