But...just yesterday...
Wasn't it just yesterday we were celebrating? Wasn't it just yesterday that we were wrapped in the warm comfort of the familiar Christmas story?
The martyrdom of St. Stephen reminds us that there is more to being Christian than enjoying the fun and joy of Christmas. As disciples of Christ we are called to follow Christ in the everyday moments, in the profound challenges of our lives, even into the times and places when we face ridicule or hate for our faith.
The martyrdom of St. Stephen reminds us of the profound impact one person can have. Through his life and his death he directed others to Christ. He pointed to the immense power and glory of God. He knew his vision, he knew to what he was called and he fearlessly lived it.
- How may you live such conviction in your life?
- Where might you need the intercession of St. Stephen to help you through difficult times of doubt or hardship due to your faith?
