August 10
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Saint Lawrence of Rome.
A deacon of the Church of Rome in the third century, during the pontificate of Sixtus II. When ordered to hand over the institution's wealth, he chose to present the poor, the sick, and the outcasts as the true treasures to be protected. He then faced his execution with unshakable dignity and a sense of humor that defied his executioners.
What stays with us: One learns here that the true value of a community lies in its ability to welcome the most vulnerable, rather than in its material assets. In the face of adversity, courage is also shown by refusing to be intimidated and by maintaining lucidity in the face of absurdity.
