05min) Play – St. Lawrence, a Philippino father, and his fifteen companions were tortured and slain for the faith in Japan. To his judges he proclaimed, “I shall die for God, and for Him I would give many thousands of lives if I had them.” Let us not be afraid to witness to our faith, if not to martyrdom, then at the very least, to the testimony of our daily lives.
