Christmas Day is behind us. Feast Day of St Stephen the first Christian Martyr at only 29 years old. Stoned to death, Stephen’s final words, a prayer of forgiveness for his attackers (Acts of the Apostles 7:60), echo those of Jesus on the cross (Luke 23:34). Stephen is the patron saint of deacons, bricklayers, and stonemasons and is also invoked against headaches (appropriate for today maybe)
An adapted benediction:-
“May the joy of the angels,
The humility of the shepherds,
The peace of the Christ-child
And the ability to forgive as Jesus and St Stephen forgave
Be God’s gift to us and all people”
Amen
