St. Stephen - Deacon - Martyr [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.

Acts vii. 52   &   St. Matthew xxiii. 34.
Homilies


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