  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2020-08-10 Saint Lawrence
    Saint Paul tells us, “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” (2 Cor 9:9). The Psalmist tells us, “Lavishly he gives to the poor, his generosity shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory” (112:9). Both of these readings were selected for the Memorial of Saint Lawrence, a deacon from the third century when the church was under persecution. The Emperor of the Roman Empire, Valerian, had little tolerance for Christians. If they did not make sacrifices to Roman gods, then the priests faced banishment. Finding great resistance among the clergy, he exerted more pressure and ordered the execution of Pope Sixtus II and 4 deacons on the 6th of August. Deacon Lawrence was willing to die on that day and begged the pope, “If I distribute the Precious Blood of our Lord at the altar, why may I not offer my own blood this day as a martyr?” Pope Sixtus II assured him his time of martyrdom would come soon enough. As a deacon in Rome working directly with Pope Sixtus II, Lawrence held a position of trust caring for the temporal goods of the Church … serving the poor by providing alms to help them. He was also an archdeacon often serving alongside the pope at important liturgies. Before his death, Pope Sixtus II ordered a distribution of all that was possible to assist the poor. Soon enough, Deacon Lawrence was taken into custody and asked to surrender the wealth of the church. The persecutors wanted gold and fine jewels.

  • August Feast Days.Pub
    AUGUST 2012 FEAST DAYS Saturday, August 4 — Saint John Mary Vianney Universally known as the Curé of Ars, this simple parish priest heard confessions 12 to 16 hours a day and was renowned as a confessor. Between 1830 and 1845, visitors and pilgrims numbered in the hundreds every day. Marianist history indicates that St. John Vianney had a special regard for the Society of Mary. Sunday, August 5 — Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major Following the declaration of Mary as “God‐bearer” by the Council of Ephesus in 431, Pope Sixtus III erected in Rome the oldest basilica in the West dedicated to the Mother of God. It is called Great Saint Mary’s because it is older and larger than other Roman churches also dedicated to Our Lady. This memorial is superceded by the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Monday, August 6 — Transfiguration of the Lord The story of the Transfiguration is full of symbolic meaning: a divine manifestation on a mountaintop, the appearance of figures representing the law and prophets, God repeating the words from heaven at Jesus’ baptism, and an allusion to Christ’s death and resurrection. August 6 and August 9 are the anniversaries of the atomic explosions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. As these events are recalled, let us continue to pray for world peace. Friday, August 10 — Saint Lawrence Lawrence suffered martyrdom in the year 258, three days after Pope Sixtus II and three other deacons were killed. He is said to have been burned alive on a gridiron. He cared for the temporal welfare of the Roman church.
