ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 25th of April
SAINT STEPHEN, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Stephen. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Antioch, Saint Stephen, bishop and martyr, who suffered much from the heretics opposed to the Council of Chalcedon, and was precipitated into the river Orontes, in the time of the emperor Zeno."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Stephen, not to think high-mindedly, but to grow in humility pleasing to you; that, despising what is base, she may with unbounded love diligently do whatever is right. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
