Stephen saw the heavens opened; he saw and entered; blessed is the man for whom the heavens were opened.
We beseech Thee, O Lord, grant us to imitate what we revere, so that we may learn to love also our enemies; for we celebrate the birth to immortality of him who interceded even for his persecutors with Thy So our Lord Jesus Christ.
A news item from the Pope on Saint Stephen and those those suffer for their faith.
