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:
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.

Habakkuk 1:12-2:4 / Matthew 17: 14-20
Habakkuk
questions God: God promised that justice would prevail.
The
Book of Habakkuk is nearly as short as the Book of Nahum. Habakkuk prophesied
shortly before the fall of Jerusalem and the Temple (587 B.C.). He wrestled
with the same question Job did: Why do good people seem to suffer and evil
people appear to prosper?
19 Sunday A: In the Storms of life with Jesus
From Fr. Donald Planty:The world’s attention is unfortunately, but understandably, regularly focused on the destructive force of natural events like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as on the violent human forces contending in conflicts in Central Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa, and in Latin America.

18th Week: Aug 3-8: Reflections
Aug 3-8: Aug 3
Monday: Mt 24:
22-36: And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved;
but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened. 23j If
anyone says to you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not
believe it. 24False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will
perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even
the elect. 25Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. 26So if they
say to you, ‘He is in the desert,’ do not go out there; if they say, ‘He is in
the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.*………………36 USCCB
