Aug 10 Monday (St. Lawrence, Deacon, Martyr) https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-lawrence/ :
Jn 12:24-26: 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of
wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears
much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his
life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me,
he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if anyone
serves me, the Father will honor him. USCCB video reflections:

Ezekiel 9:1-7; 10:18-22 / Matthew 18:15-20
Ezekiel has a vision of Jerusalem: “Only
those who mourn will be saved. ”
Five years after arriving in Babylon, Ezekiel is
returned to Jerusalem in a vision. He finds himself beside the Temple. What he
sees may have been actual or symbolic. In any event, the meaning is clear: He
sees a breakdown of the religion of Israel.

Ezekiel 2:8 - 3:4 / Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
“Preach to the people of Israel. ”:
There was a movie that was shown some time
back called "Bruce Almighty". It was about this ordinary man who was
given godly powers for whatever reason. Power is indeed very attractive and
appealing, and more so for the ordinary man on the street who seems to feel so
powerless in all that is happening around him.
Aug 10: St. Lawrence: Liturgical Prayers
Monday August 10
ST. LAWRENCE, DEACON, MARTYR (FEAST)
Introduction
As a deacon, Lawrence was placed in charge of the poor of Rome. When he was ordered to surrender the goods of the Church to the persecutors, he distributed them to the poor. When asked where the treasures of the Church were, he showed the poor… He was broiled alive. Rome venerates him as one of the greatest saints and co-patron of Rome with Peter and Paul. May we learn loyal service from him.
