Gracious Father, who
gave the first martyr Stephen grace to pray for those who took up stones
against him: grant that in all our sufferings for the truth we may learn to
love even our enemies and to seek forgiveness for those who desire our hurt,
looking up to heaven to him who was crucified for us, Jesus Christ, our
mediator and advocate, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
(Common Worship: Festivals)
