5/11/11 cblog REMEMBERING ST. STEPHEN, FIRST MARTYR FOR CHRIST. LET US BE AS BRAVE;
st. Callistus fr regular 630a m: "...ystrday heard abt persecution of first christians .. ..Jesus too..had joy but suffered..some will praise and follow,..others will reject him ..death on cross..when hear about acts ..same thing as follows of christ..persecuted insulted rejected ..steven first martyr..executed for kingdom..stephen..what tells us..as chr caths as followers ..sadness joy..suffer glory..death but hope of ress..let us pray to endure...he will be faithful to us good and bad times .. Acts 8:1b-8 There broke out a severe persecution of the Church in Jerusalem and all were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria except the Apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made a loud lament over him. Saul, meanwhile, was trying to destroy the Church entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment Now those who had been scattered went about preaching the word. Thus Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them. With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing. For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed and crippled people were cured. There was great joy in that city. " R. (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. or R. Alleluia Shout joyfully to God, all the earth, sing praise to the glory of his name; ut to God with joy. or R. Alleluia John 6.25-40 "Jesus said to the crowds,“I am the bread of life whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst But I told you that although you have seen me, you do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life and I shall raise him on the last day.”
