In the heart of Dublin's bustling city centre lies St Stephen's Green, a place of calm amid chaos, a patch of peace in a fast-moving metropolis. Known simply as “the Green” to Dubliners, it's where students loll on sunny afternoons, office workers grab quiet lunch breaks, and tourists pause for breath amid their sightseeing. But behind its ornamental lake, elegant railings and leafy paths lies a fascinating and, at times, fiery history stretching back nearly a millennium. Diarmuid Gavin brings us the story of St Stephen's Green.All with thanks to Tirlán.

She talks about offering up relationships to the Lord, recognizing that healing in the relationship may not come in this life, and the desire to have union with everyone in heaven. She links this to Saints Stephen and Paul, who did not have a great relationship on this life, but now through union with God, have an amazing relationship in heaven.Special thanks to Kyle and Drew from Catholic Creator Conference for letting us use their studio while at SEEK.

Send us a textWhen we describe artists we typically describe them in terms of their medium: a musician, a scuplter, a painter, a poet, etc. But what does it really mean to be an artist or, for that matter, to be creative? Can you be an artist without a medium? How do we think about or describe the creative act? What might life look like if we were to view it as a work of art?In today's episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss these questions and more with special guest, Haymitch St. Stephen. Haymitch is an artist and contemplative who is dedicated to helping others cultivate creativity as a spiritual practice. One of his recent creative projects that we discuss in this episode is his book, Friend of the Devil: A story of Mental Health, Mistakes, and Self-Forgiveness.

Saint of the Day
Holy First Martyr and Archdeacon Stephen

Saint of the Day

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 27, 2024


A kinsman of the Apostle Paul, the Holy Stephen was one of the seven deacons (with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas) first appointed by the Church to minister to the people; and it pleased God to receive him as the Church's first Martyr for Christ. Read the long, beautiful and edifying account of his witness in the Acts of the Apostles, chapters 6-8. When Stephen, "full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people," (Acts 6:8), some members of a synagogue in Jerusalem came to dispute with him and, enraged by his proclamation of Christ, stoned him to death. In his death St Stephen revealed Christ's erasure of the boundary between heaven and earth, and the new communion between man and God: his face shone with the light of the Transfiguration, and he was granted a vision of Christ enthroned at the Father's right hand. His dying words were "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" (Acts 7:60).   According to holy tradition, the martyrdom of St Stephen occurred exactly a year after the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. His body was taken and secretly buried by Gamaliel, a member of the Sanhendrin and secretly a Christian.   Saint Stephen's relics were discovered by the priest Lucian in 415 following a vision. They were translated to the church built for them in Jerusalem by the Empress Eudocia, and later taken to Constantinople.   The Saint's missionary speech before his death (like that of the deacon St Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch) reminds us that those appointed to serve the Church materially are not barred, or even excused, from proclaiming the glorious Gospel of Christ.

[Alleluia.]Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *serve the Lord with gladnessand come before his presence with a song.Know this: The Lord himself is God; *he himself has made us, and we are his;we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.Enter his gates with thanksgiving;go into his courts with praise; *give thanks to him and call upon his Name.For the Lord is good;his mercy is everlasting; *and his faithfulness endures from age to age.[Alleluia.] The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.] The PsalterPsalm 28O Lord, I call to you;my Rock, do not be deaf to my cry; *lest, if you do not hear me,I become like those who go down to the Pit.2Hear the voice of my prayer when I cry out to you, *when I lift up my hands to your holy of holies.3Do not snatch me away with the wicked or with the evildoers, *who speak peaceably with their neighbors,while strife is in their hearts.4Repay them according to their deeds, *and according to the wickedness of their actions.5According to the work of their hands repay them, *and give them their just deserts.6They have no understanding of the Lord's doings,nor of the works of his hands; *therefore he will break them down and not build them up.7Blessed is the Lord! *for he has heard the voice of my prayer.8The Lord is my strength and my shield; *my heart trusts in him, and I have been helped;9Therefore my heart dances for joy, *and in my song will I praise him.10The Lord is the strength of his people, *a safe refuge for his anointed.11Save your people and bless your inheritance; *shepherd them and carry them for ever. Psalm 30I will exalt you, O Lord,because you have lifted me up *and have not let my enemies triumph over me.2O Lord my God, I cried out to you, *and you restored me to health.3You brought me up, O Lord, from the dead; *you restored my life as I was going down to the grave.4Sing to the Lord, you servants of his; *give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.5For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye, *his favor for a lifetime.6Weeping may spend the night, *but joy comes in the morning.7While I felt secure, I said,“I shall never be disturbed. *You, Lord, with your favor, made me as strong as the mountains.”8Then you hid your face, *and I was filled with fear.9I cried to you, O Lord; *I pleaded with the Lord, saying,10“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the Pit? *will the dust praise you or declare your faithfulness?11Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; *O Lord, be my helper.”12You have turned my wailing into dancing; *you have put off my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy.13Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing; *O Lord my God, I will give you thanks for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Lessons2 Chron. 24:17-22A Reading from the Second Book of Chronicles.Now after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king. Then the king listened to them. And they abandoned the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs. Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord. These testified against them, but they would not pay attention.  Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.'” But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see and avenge!” The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you;You are the Lord: we acclaim you;You are the eternal Father:All creation worships you.To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory.The glorious company of apostles praise you.The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;Father, of majesty unbounded,your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of deathand opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory.We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. Acts 6:1-7A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.  And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.

Friends of the Rosary, Merry and Holy Christmas! Today, December 26, the Second Day in the Octave of Christmas, we celebrate the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr and witness to the Lord. St. Stephen was stoned outside Jerusalem two years after the death of Christ. He died praying for his executioners. In imitation of Christ unto the complete gift of self, he was one of the deacons who helped the apostles. He was “filled with faith and the Holy Spirit" and was "full of fortitude.” The account in the Acts of the Apostles relating his arrest and the accusations brought against him emphasizes the parallel with our Saviour's trial and execution. By establishing the feast on the day after Christmas, the Church draws a close comparison between the disciple and the Master and thus extends his witness to the whole mission of the Redeemer. St. Stephen is usually pictured in deacon's vestments, holding the symbol of martyrdom, a palm branch. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠⁠Enjoy this video and enhance your faith in our newly released iOS app • ⁠December 26, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

On the second day of Christmas, Christians commemorate the first martyr, St Stephen, who was stoned to death for his faith. Another important Stephen known in this region of Europe was King Stephen of Hungary, who was also very devoted to God. That is why today on Radio Slovakia International we are going to dedicate a special programme to Stephens or Stefans and to Hungary, or rather to the symbol of the Hungarian presidency of the EU in 2024. Tune in for the Slovak name-day episode and the revival of the Rubik's Cube. Lots of music too.

Read Online“When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10:19–20These words of our Lord came to fruition in the life of Saint Stephen, the Church's first martyr. Saint Stephen was martyred within a couple of years after Jesus' ascension into Heaven. He was one of seven deacons who the Apostles appointed to assist them in their work of caring for the poor as the Church began to grow.Stephen was a man of deep faith and was filled with the Holy Spirit. After he was appointed deacon, he began to preach with boldness. Among his listeners were members of the synagogue of Hellenistic Jews. Stephen debated them vigorously and proved himself to be full of wisdom and power, performing many signs and wonders in their midst. But this only led his listeners to become outraged to the point of seeking his death. As a result, they made false claims that Stephen was preaching against the Temple and the Law of Moses.In the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 7:2–53), Stephen responded by giving a long and detailed speech by which he explained the full truth of Jesus in light of the Old Testament. Stephen concluded by saying, “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.” This infuriated his listeners in the synagogue even more. After this, something truly miraculous happened. Stephen had a vision. He looked up to Heaven and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” He saw his Lord, standing at the right hand of the Father. And it was his proclamation of this vision that finally drove the infuriated crowd to drag him out of the synagogue and city and to stone him to death. Stephen's story, however, ended in a beautiful and inspired way. As the crowd was stoning him, he spoke two powerful statements. First, he said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And then he prayed in a loud voice,  “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”As mentioned above, the words our Lord speaks in the Gospel today came to fruition in the life of Saint Stephen. First of all, we see that Jesus' prediction that some of His followers would be handed over to deaths by their own kinsmen came true in the life of Saint Stephen. But Jesus also promised that when this would happen, “You will be given at that moment what you are to say.” And it will be the Spirit of the Father “speaking through you.” And that's exactly what happened with Saint Stephen. First, he was given a glorious vision of Heaven. Second, he was inspired to fully surrender his spirit over to Jesus. And third, he was inspired to pray for his persecutors and forgive them. These words and actions did not come from Stephen alone. They were the fulfillment of Jesus' promise that when one is persecuted for the sake of the Gospel, the Father will be especially present and give powerful inspiration at the moment of need. Reflect, today, upon the profound truth that God never abandons us. In fact, when we suffer the most or endure persecution, rejection or any form of mistreatment, God is especially present. Look at your own life and consider those moments that you find most challenging. Pray to Saint Stephen and ask him to pray for you so that you will be open to the inspired words and actions of our Lord when you need them the most. Most glorious Saint Stephen, please pray for me. Pray for me especially when I experience the heaviest crosses in my life. Pray that I, like you, will be open to God's inspiration and grace at those times I need it the most. St. Stephen, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

He seems to have lived in Constantinople for his entire life, but lived there as if in the desert, devoting himself entirely to solitude, fasting and prayer. For most of his adult life he ate only a few vegetables without salt once or twice a week; by his prayers many miracles were wrought in the City.   In time he was made a priest and served in the church of St Antipas, where he lived in seclusion. When the church was destroyed in the earthquake of 879, he withdrew to a dank pit in the ruins where the air was so unwholesome that he lost his hair and teeth and was almost paralyzed. He only emerged from this ascesis after twelve years. Thereafter he served the Divine Liturgy only on Feasts of the Lord, allowing himself some water and fruit after the service; otherwise he spent his time alone in silent prayer. He reposed in peace in 912 at the age of seventy-three.
