Kathy Schiffer on Saint Lawrence

“St. Lawrence, one of seven deacons who served under Pope Sixtus II, died on August 10, in 258 A.D.  According to legend, he was ‘roasted’ alive on a grill – but maintaining his good humor to the end, he is reputed to have said during his ordeal, ‘Turn me over.  I’m done on this side.’”

In a recent commentary, writer Kathy Schiffer reflected on the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence, deacon and martyr, whose feast the Church celebrates today.
