St. Lawrence Ruiz and Companions (1600?-1637)
Lawrence (Lorenzo) was born in Manila of a Chinese father and a Filipino
mother, both Christians. Thus he learned Chinese and Tagalog from them and
Spanish from the Dominicans whom he served as altar boy and sacristan. He
became a professional calligrapher, transcribing documents in beautiful
penmanship. He was a full member of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary
under Dominican auspices. He married and had two sons and a daughter. For

The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but the dwelling of the
just he blesses; When dealing with the arrogant, he is stern, but to the
humble he shows kindness. ~Proverbs 3:27-34
Jesus said to the crowd: "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel
or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those
who enter may see the light. ~Luke 8:16-18
Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/

Jesus wants us to let the light of our faith shine so others may be
illuminate too, when they see that light in us. In our first reading from
the book of Proverbs we are called to be just and humble. We are told that
the house of the wicked is cursed and that He is stern with the arrogant. We
can heed this warning, then let the light of our faith shine!
.=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may act justly and live with humility. I pray that I may
allow the light of my faith to shine, for my own salvation and to help those
around me find salvation as well.
.=: W E P R A Y :=.
We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!
May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
Father Pat
"Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10
