10th August 2019 Saturday 18th Week of Ordinary Time - St. Lawrence

Reflection
2 Corinthians 9:6-10, John 12:24-26

“A grain of wheat”
We celebrate the feast of a very little known saint, St. Lawrence. St. Lawrence was great, not because of his achievements, but because he lived and died for Christ. He placed Jesus first above everything else. Thus, this humble saint became a grain of wheat who died in order to yield a rich harvest. His only desire was to follow Jesus faithfully to the end, and to be with Him where He was. The path of the grain of wheat is the daily way we must walk.
