LISTEN | Morning Prayer - September 28, 2022 | Memorial of Sts. Lorenzo Ruiz and companions, Martyrs

"I shall die for God, and for Him I would give many thousands of lives if I had them." - St. Lorenzo Ruiz

St. Lorenzo Ruiz was a devoted husband and father of three children in the Philippines during the seventeenth century. After he was unjustly accused of murder, he fled with Christian missionaries to Japan where he was tortured for their faith. Lorenzo and his companions shed their blood for Christ in Nagasaki in 1637. These martyrs were members of the Order of St. Dominic. They were nine priests, two religious, two sisters, and three laymen. They abundantly sowed the missionary seed of Christianity with the example of their life and death.
