Saint Stephen

“Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

“Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They even killed those who prophesied the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him.”

“Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”

“You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!”

“However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands.”

“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
