Help us to imitate the love of You he showed in his openness to the Holy Spirit. St. Stephen, you did a lot of important work for the early Church. The Acts of the Apostles says that you were full of faith and that the Holy Spirit was in you, as you continued to carry out your holy work. Please continue to bring my petitions before the throne of God! Your openness to the Holy Spirit allowed God to work miracles through you. These works helped bring many others to conversion. Pray for me, that I may grow in openness to the workings of the Holy Spirit in my life. Pray that I may allow God to use me as His instrument each day. Amen. O glorious St. Stephen, first Martyr for the Faith, filled with compassion for those who invoke you, with love for those who suffer, heavily laden with the weight of my troubles. I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take my present needs under your special protection: (mention request here…) Vouchsafe to recommend it to our Lord Jesus. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace to one day meet God face to face, and with you and Mary and all the angels and saints praise Him through all eternity. O most powerful Saint Stephen, Deacon and Martyr, do not let me lose my soul, but obtain for me the grace of winning my way to heaven, forever and ever. Amen. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be St. Stephen, pray for us. ----- DAY 5 Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Stephen as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the virtue he showed in working to provide for the needs of the poor in the early Church. St. Stephen, you were chosen by the Apostles to serve the Church as one of the first deacons. In this role, you worked to provide for the material needs of the poor. You did all you could to carry out this work faithfully. Please do all you can to bring my petitions before the throne of God! You did a lot of important work for the early Church. Your care for the poor contributed to the growth and strength of the early Church. Pray for me, that I may always be conscious of the needs of those around me. Pray that I may be eager to serve God through charitable service to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen. ----- DAY 6 Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Stephen as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You he showed through his deep trust in You. St. Stephen, you did a lot of important work for the early Church. There were many enemies of Christ seeking to stop this holy work, but you did not waver in your trust or commitment to God. Please do not waver in bringing my petitions before God! Even when you were brought before the Sanhedrin on charges of blasphemy, you were not disturbed or worried. You placed your trust in God and held fast to your Faith. Pray for me, that I may grow in trust in God each day. Pray that I may never waver in my Faith, no matter what difficulties I might face.
