Father Broom preaches on the feast of St Lawrence, August 10,2012.
This great saint was a Deacon of Rome in the 3rd Century. He refused the order of the pagan government that he give all of the Church’s money and property to the government. Instead he sold it all and gave the money to the poor. The he showed the governor the poor of Rome and said “this is the church’s treasure”.
For his boldness and faithfulness he was executed by slow burning on a hot grill…after a while he said “turn me over I am done on this side!”
As he died he prayed that all of Rome would be converted. Within 50 years of his death all of Rome was converted.
