Lawrence was one of seven deacons closely associated with Pope Saint Sixtus II. His work was to distribute money to the poor. During the persecutions of the Roman Emperor Valerian, the Pope and the six other deacons were taken prisoner and beheaded, leaving Lawrence as the leader of the church. He was told by authorities to bring to them all the wealth of the church and to surrenderd himself for execution. He quickly distributed what little wealth the church had to the poor and gather together all the poor, crippled, blind and sick he could find and surrendered himself to the emperor, telling him that these people were the true wealth of the church. He was taken prisoner and executed by being thrown onto a hot grill above a slow fire. Before he died he is reported to have told his executioner to, "Turn me over. I'm done on this side."

Saint Lawrence of Rome is known for his self-sacrifice and courage in the face of persecution, rather than for performing miracles. One notable legend is his response when asked to hand over the church's treasures - he presented the sick and poor, stating they were the true treasures of the Church.

∙ 10y agoLawrence was not canonized. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body. They were almost immediately proclaimed as saints by the local population. The official canonization process was not instituted until the 12th century.

What were the two miracles that St Agnes performed to make her a saint?
St. Agnes is a "pre-congregational" saint. She was declared a saint before the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints came into being that required Rome to examine all evidence before a person could be declared a saint. Except for unproven legends, there is no written record of any miracles that could be attributed to the intercession of St. Agnes. When Agnes was proclaimed a saint, there was no official requirement that miracles be proven.

Saint Arnold, originally of Austria, is known as the patron saint of beer. He was a bishop and very prominent in the Church. When he died, the party of travellers carrying his coffin stopped to rest at a tavern and get a drink of beer. They were told, unfortunately that there was only one mug of beer and that they would have to all share it. The mug never emptied and this "miracle" became one of the qualified miracles to make Saint Arnold a cannonized saint. Sorry Answer is 9 letters long it is GAMBRINUS

Roman Catholic answer:St. Cecilia was a martyr, in other words she died for the faith. If one is martyred for the faith, one does not normally need a miracle or miracles proved to your intercession.
