St. Laurence
Day 1
August 10th.
-
O glorious St. Laurence, who requested and obtained leave to follow the supreme Pontiff Sixtus to a glorious martyrdom: obtain for us all the grace to regard suffering and labours as blessings. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Laurence, who exercised yourself in every practice of humility and charity, washing the feet of the ministers of the altar, dispensing all your property to the poor, and converting to the faith the keeper of your prison: obtain for us the grace to practise all Christian virtues, that we may attain to the rewards of Paradise. Gloria.
-
Glorious St. Laurence, who, after having endured with heroic courage, the dislocation of your limbs by the torture, and to be torn with iron scorpions, laughed at by the murderers and tyrants whilst you were being broiled at a slow fire upon a gridiron: obtain for us all the grace to keep ourselves unmoved amidst all the temptations of the world, and so to live that we may merit to share your blessed immortality in Heaven. Gloria.
