    Ant. Stéphanus autem * plenus grátia et fortitúdine, faciébat signa magna in pópulo.
    V. Justus ut palma florébit.
    R. Sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur.
    Orémus.
    Da nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, imitári quod cólimus: ut discámus et inimícos dilígere; quia ejus Inventiónem celebrámus, qui novit étiam pro persecutóribus exoráre Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum:
    Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    R. Amen.

    Ant. And Stephen, full of grace * and fortitude, did great signs among the people.
    V. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:
    R. He shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
    Let us pray.
    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 Finding of the holy body of him who knew how to pray for his very persecutors to our Lord Jesus Christ:
    Who with thee liveth and reigneth, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
    R. Amen.
