Collect of St. Stephen, Protomartyr
MassMartyrsSt. Stephen
Grant us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, so to imitate what we revere, that we may learn to love even our enemies; for we celebrate the heavenly birthday of him who knew how to pray even for his persecutors to our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
