Gracious Father, who gave the first martyr Stephen grace to pray for those who stoned 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 and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
