The Feast of Saint Lawrence

Today is the feast of Saint Lawrence, a deacon who gave everything — including his life — in service to the poor. Today's readings explore the paradox of generous self-giving: that what is freely poured out, even unto death, becomes the source of lasting abundance. Paul's letter and the Gospel both press on this mystery from different angles, inviting us to listen for what true fruitfulness costs and what it yields. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 112:1-2, 5-6, 7-8, 9 • Gospel: John 12:24-26
