Today is the Feast of St. Stephen, a holy man selected my the Apostles to be the first among the seven men to be named Deacons in Acts Chapter 6.
He is the patron Saint for the body of Permanent Deacons and won the crown of martyrdom as he boldly and truthfully proclaimed the Word. This too is captured in Acts.
Deacon Greg Kendra printed a prayer from a brother Deacon for all Permanent Deacons on this Feast of St. Stephen. Here is that prayer:
