The Feast of the Finding of the Relics of St. Stephen

August 3 is the little known feast of the Finding of the Relics of St. Stephen (I always say it’s good to take any opportunity to celebrate our patron saint):


O Lord, grant that we may imitate what we worship so we may learn to love even our enemies, as we celebrate the finding of the body of him, who knew how to pray for his persecutors, to our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and forever. Amen.
