For those who don't know this person his name is Saint Lorenzo Ruiz who was the first Filipino to become a saint. What made him different from other Saints was he holds the distinction of being the first person beatified outside the Vatican. Last Friday at my church of St Michael we did a prayer for him honoring him. He died as a martyr which to me is one of the bravest thing any man or woman can do. He was given an option which was live as long as you stop believe in God or die believing in him. He chose death to me, to me it shows a lot of courage being a Filipino it just brings on more to the word pride.
