From the Wardens - St. Stephen
As we celebrate the feast day of St. Stephen the Martyr today, we are reminded of his unwavering faith and devotion to God, even in the face of death. Stephen is a powerful example of what it means to be a true follower of Christ and to be willing to give our all for the sake of our faith.
As one of the first seven deacons chosen by the apostles, Stephen was known for his wisdom and his ability to perform miracles. He preached the word of God with great passion and conviction, and many were converted to Christianity through his witness. However, his teachings were met with fierce opposition from the religious leaders of the time, who accused him of blasphemy.
Despite the persecution he faced, Stephen remained steadfast in his faith. He did not back down or compromise his beliefs, but instead, he boldly proclaimed the truth of the gospel. His staunch devotion to God ultimately led to his martyrdom, as he was stoned to death for his faith.
Through his sacrifice, Stephen reminds us of the cost of our faith and the importance of standing firm in our beliefs. His example teaches us that true faith is not just about what we believe, but about how we live our lives and what we are willing to give up for the sake of our faith.
