“Turn me over, I’m done on this side.” – St. LawrenceHave you ever noticed how good it feels to laugh? "It's not surprising that the adage, "laughter is the best medicine" is such a popular cliche." It’s true. It’s also not surprising that many of the saints were known for their keen sense of humor.

Feast of St. Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr
“I tell you again and again, my brethren, that in the Lord’s garden are to be found not only the roses of His martyrs. In it there are also the lilies of the virgins, the ivy of wedded couples, and the violets of widows.”
-St. Augustine on the Feast of St. Lawrence

- St. Lawrence of Brindisi
