24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,
Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit,

 25 Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.
ipsum solum manet : si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam; et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam.

 26 If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.
Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.

St Lawrence was a deacon, Pope and Martyr. The prefect of Rome arrested him. He distributed the possessions of the Church to the poor to save them from confiscation. He was roasted to death on a gridiron in 258, A.D.
