Collect of the Invention of St Stephen, Protomartyr ~ Indulgenced on the Feast (See Note)

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who on the feast of any Saint recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us prayGrant 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. 

Nota bene - The Invention of St Stephen is no longer celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, today is the Feast Day. The Collect is taken from the Missal of St Pius V.

    It is always such a spirit-encouraging moment to see the beauty of Catholic history and devotion. Thank you.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
