Instead of the treasures of the Church, what did Saint Lawrence present to the Roman Prefect?

  • The Poor

  • A Bible

  • Communion Bread

  • A Cross

Answer

**The Poor - True Treasures**: Saint Lawrence defied the Roman Prefect’s demand for the Church’s riches by presenting the impoverished and marginalized individuals the Church had been diligently supporting. Lawrence believed these vulnerable individuals embodied the genuine wealth and essence of the Christian community, representing the Church’s commitment to charity and compassion.
