INTRODUCTION
“I am a Christian and I shall die for God, and for Him, I shall give
many thousand lives if I had them.”
The magnitude of faith of St. Lorenzo Ruiz was captured in these
famous words of his. Only if so much as adeep experience or a special
encounter with Christ, can a person bodly proclaim his/her faith.
Today, let us be one with the Knights of the Altar and the Liturgy
Committee as we witness their commitment for a life of service. Let us ask
God in this Eucharistic Celebration to grant them the strength to fulfill
God’s will in joyful commitment and fidelity to their daily duties.
Through the intercession of St. Lorenzo Ruiz and his companions, let
us heed to the challenge of the Church to relive our deep experience with
Jesus and to make alive the Gospel values. May this encounter with our
Eucharistic Lord sterngthen us in our serivce and mission of proclaiming
Christ.
