Readings for Feast of St Stephen

The first reading:   How Stephen forgave the men who killing him

 Responsorial Psalm: Stephen used the same psalm as Jesus to entrust his life to the Father

Gospel:  Jesus' special words for people in Stephen's situation

Reflection:
One of the fruits of Christmas is forgiveness: people make an extra effort to "bury the hatchet", even nations make an effort to work for peace.  Stephen understood the Christmas message. He understood that forgiveness is basic to Chrisianity.
Prayer: Jesus, many times you spoke about forgiveness. On the Cross you forgave those killing you.
Stephen understood your message of forgiveness. Please give me a forgiving heart
