Feast of St. Stephen - Deacon - Martry 26 Dec

GRANT, O Lord, that, in all our sufferings here upon earth for the testimony of thy truth, we may stedfastly look up to heaven, and by faith behold the glory that shall be revealed; and, being filled with the Holy Ghost, may learn to love and bless our persecutors by the example of thy first Martyr Saint Stephen, who prayed for his murderers to thee, O blessed Jesus, who standest at the right hand of God to succour all those who suffer for thee, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
followed with the collect for Christmas
 
with sermon by John Chrysostom

Behold, I see the heavens opened,
and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God
