  • Lawrence, the Saint Who Teaches the Fervour of Faith
    FOOD TRADES AND PATRONS / 1 Lawrence, the saint who teaches the fervour of faith CULTURE 27-03-2021 Liana Marabini St Lawrence the Martyr is the patron saint of cooks, but also of pasta makers, rotisserie workers, and pastry chefs. In iconography, St Lawrence is depicted as a young deacon dressed in the dalmatic, with the attribute of the gridiron, indicating the technique of his torture. (The dalmatic was a garment used in Roman times, which then remained in use as a liturgical vestment consisting of a long tunic with wide sleeves that reached down to the knees. It is the habit of deacons, who wear it during liturgical celebrations. Like the chasuble for presbyters and bishops, it is the outermost garment). In addition, according to hagiographic texts, he was given the palm of martyrdom and the purse of the treasure of the Roman Church, which he redistributed to the poor. Legend and historical truth mingle as details in Lawrence’s story and both serve to understand the Christian significance of the saint. He was born around 225 in the Roman Empire, in Hispania Tarraconensis (Aragon), in the city of Huesca (Osca in Latin), but his birthplace is uncertain; there are sources that state that he may have been born in Valencia, the birthplace of his parents. But Huesca is the birthplace more generally accepted by the sources. As a young man he studied theology in Zaragoza, one of the most prestigious centres of learning. One of the professors of this famous study centre was the future Pope Sixtus II.

  • Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz
    Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz Introduction What a joy to be with you this afternoon at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to celebrate the feast day of two Filipino saints: San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calunsgod (kuh LUN sud). Warmest thanks to Dr. Ruben Ballesteros and Father Pete Literal for kindly inviting me to lead and take part in this celebration and in thanking you I extend my gratitude to Archdiocesan Filipino Council for your all that you do to foster the New Evangelization among the growing number of Filipino families here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. At the same time, I would like to welcome Couples for Christ and to thank you for all that you do to promote the vocation of marriage and family. And let us remember all those who lost their lives in Typhoon Haiyan as well as those who responded so heroically to that tragedy. We salute their faith, their courage, and their heroic love! Universal Call to Holiness The II Vatican Council clearly taught that every one of us is called to holiness. Indeed, something way deep down in us keeps telling us that we are made for more than this world can offer – whether it’s pleasure, riches, or power. We are made in God’s image and so we are really happy only when we reflect God’s love and share his friendship. And holiness is nothing other than sharing in God’s own life and love. In the Church we find all the means to holiness that we need, for in the Church we meet Christ and experience his love.

  • Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In
    Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In Rome, during the first half of the third century, the government was sold out to Roman so-called deities, and Christians were not to be tolerated. Often they were given the chance to “convert” and prove it by offering sacrifices to the so-called gods. And those who refused were arrested, confined, tortured, and executed. Lawrence was one of the city’s seven deacons–men who cared for the buildings, their contents— who maintained the roofs, repaired the structures, and protected the art. Men who cared for the poor and ill among the congregation. Lawrence took his duty to the buildings and the people seriously. A lot of the Church’s leaders had already been executed. Today’s story is about what happened when the Romans came for Lawrence. On this date in 258, Lawrence outwitted the Emperor of Rome. Strategic generosity trumps going with the flow. About 200 years after the Apostle Paul wrote a famous letter to the believers at Rome, when Lawrence served as deacon, the beheaded bodies of some of his fellow church leaders lay in undignified graves, and the whole congregation suffered terrible poverty and hunger. One day in August, the Emperor sent a messenger to Lawrence and demanded he turn over all the treasures of the church. The Emperor intended to melt down crucifixes and sacred vessels like chalices and sell the gold. He would sell the paintings, too. And brutal Roman soldiers stood ready to aggressively enforce this order. So Lawrence immediately sought direction from Pope Sixtus II.
