O glorious St. Stephen, who had the honour to be the first minister to the Apostles,—the first deacon of the Church,—and the first martyr for the faith; make us, like you, at all times ready to give our lives for the love and service of our God. Oh! obtain for us a zeal such as you had for your neighbours, that we may make use of every occasion to instruct, correct, assist, and gain them to God.—And as you prayed for those who stoned you: obtain also for us to love from our hearts, and benefit according to our power, all our enemies, that after death we may merit to enter with you into the kingdom of all happiness, to enjoy the eternal glory of Paradise. Three Glorias.
