Acts 6:8-10; 7:54-59; Matthew 10:17-22 The new leader of the Church, Stephen, comes in conflict with the Greek-speaking Jews. They are no match for his wisdom but ultimately put him to death. There are several parallels drawn between his final days/hours and Jesus’, not the least of which are his final words through which he commends his spirit to the Lord. The passage from Matthew’s Gospel is a section of what is known as the Missionary Discourse. Jesus tells his disciples that in joining him on the mission they are to expect the same treatment he receives. Lord, on this day I pray for all those men and women throughout the world who suffer because they follow you. Give them the courage to endure. LynnCatholic.org
