Loving God, on this second day of Christmas the church celebrates the feast of Saint Stephen, the first martyr. As Stephen proclaimed the faith, he paid the ultimate price when he was stoned to death. Grant us the integrity to live and love as you have taught us; grant us the courage to work for justice and peace.

Amen.
