May we have his courage.
It is well worth our considered reflection, to remember his time, and to hope to God that if our time comes as such, we might be be similarly inspired by his example.
Take note of the prayers in your daily missal for propers on feasts of martyrs for due contemplation on this theme. For example, the Feast of St. Stephen, protomartyr, is most worthy of our consideration today:
Grant us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, to imitate what we venerate, that we may learn to love even our enemies; for we celebrate the birth to life everlasting of him who knew how to pray even for his persecutors to our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
Furthermore, although it is not from the season of Lent, it nonetheless abides precisely in that mode of prayer in which we are now immersed, the great festival of the incomparable St. Lawrence gives rise to perfection in this present season of fasting and prayer:
Grant us, we beseech Thee, O almighty God, to extinguish the flames of our evil dispositions, as Thou didst grant blessed Lawrence to overcome the fires of his torments. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
