St. Lawrence of Rome was born in the third century in Spain. He accompanied the soon-to-be Pope St. Sixtus II to Rome and there was named the youngest of the city’s seven deacons. St. Ambrose of Milan tells us that, as a deacon, Lawrence was in charge of the material goods of the Church and the distribution of alms to the poor. During the persecution of Christians ordered by the Roman Emperors Valerian, Pope Sixtus II was executed along with many other priests and deacons.
He is a patron saint of librarians and archivists, for the care he took to preserve the books and documents of the Church. He is a patron saint of cooks, for the fact that he was cooked. And he is the patron saint of comedians, for the excellent sense of humor he displayed about the whole ordeal.
Laugh around the kitchen table or evangelize with humor anywhere with this pocket-sized Catholic joke book.
