STATION – ST. LAWRENCE IN DAMASO
We celebrate in spirit the holy mysteries in the church of St. Lawrence in Damaso, built by the “poet-Pope” and “lover of the catacombs,” St. Damasus, whose remains rest in this venerable edifice.
Mother Church points today to two leaders: Moses and Christ, figure and fulfillment. Both of them unappreciated by their flock; both them unmoved in their consecration to God and their holy calling. Their people: superficial, proud and selfish; the leaders: filled with the spirit of prayer, humility and the love of God.
In the spirit of our prayerful, humble and God-loving leader, St. Lawrence, let us make a sincere oblation of ourselves. Then the Divine Victim, through the prayers of the holy deacon, will increase in our souls so strikingly expressed in today’s Mass:
1. Humility. “With expectation I have waited for the Lord and He was attentive to me.”
2. Prayerfulness. “And He heard my prayer.”
3. Love. “And He put a new canticle in my mouth, a song to our God.”
Let us pray: Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication: be attentive to me, and hear me. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
