A Thousand Lives

"I am a Catholic. Had I a thousand lives I would gladly offer them all for him. Never shall I apostatize. You may kill me, if that is what you want. To die for God -- such is my will.” These were the last words uttered by St. Lawrence Ruiz, a Filipino saint we remember today, before he was martyred in Japan in 1637. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian’s homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.
