    The Holy See FEAST OF ST STEPHEN PROTOMARTYRPOPE FRANCIS ANGELUS Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 26 December 2018 [Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! The joy of Christmas still floods our hearts. The wondrous message continues to resonate: Christ is born for us and brings peace to the world. In this joyful climate, today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Stephen, deacon and first martyr. It might seem curious to place the memorial of Saint Stephen alongside Jesus’ birth, because a contrast stands out between the joy of Bethlehem and the tragedy of Stephen, stoned in Jerusalem during the first persecution against the nascent Church. In reality it is not so, because the Child Jesus is the Son of God made man, who will save humanity by dying on the Cross. We now contemplate him wrapped in swaddling cloths in the Nativity scene; after his crucifixion he will again be wrapped in bandages and laid in a tomb. Saint Stephen was the first to follow in the footsteps of the divine Master in martyrdom; he died as Jesus did, by entrusting his own life to God and forgiving his persecutors. Two approaches: he entrusted his life to God and he forgave. As he was being stoned he said: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59). They are words wholly similar to those spoken by Jesus on the Cross: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” (Lk 23:46). The attitude of Stephen, who faithfully imitates Jesus’ actions, is an invitation addressed to each one of us to faithfully receive from the Lord’s hands the positive and also negative things that life reserves for us.

  • Saint John the Baptist Church ~ the First 75 Years “The Spirit of the Lord Is Upon Us, Because the Lord Has Anointed Us.”
    Saint John the Baptist Church ~ The First 75 Years “The Spirit of the Lord is upon us, because the Lord has anointed us.” Officially Saint John the Baptist Parish was begun in 1867, actually it is much older. The recently arrived residents, mostly German and all the Catholics, laid the foundation for the future parish when they had the vil- lage school teacher: Mr. Serbis, Mr. Null, and Mr. May teach christian doc- trine to their children. These teachers lived in a building which stood on the opposite side of the public school on Main Street. Later this school building was moved to what is now the church property and became the old convent for the sisters. For many years the first families of the future parish in spite of the great incontinences which the days were filled with the hard business of living, still found time and strength to go on horseback, wagon or walk the many miles to St. Stevens Mission in Gretna or to Saints Peter and Paul Church in Naperville to celebrate Mass and to receive the Sacra- ments, often leaving at 4:00 am to leave for mass. It is a wonder, then that the history of Saint John the Baptist Church has been one of sacrifice and perseverance through close to 150 years. The faith of our hardy founders was part of their daily lives. Exiled to all from which they had been accustomed in their rich cultural roots in Ger- many: the music, their beautiful churches and the social life from the lands they came from, they held fast to their Faith in their new country.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • Saint Stephen-Martyr
    STONING OF ST.STEPHEN by Marcel Babineau Much of this information was taken from Wikipedia This stained glass is dated 1863 and is the centerpiece of St. Stephen’s Church, Milltown, NB. It is flanked by stained glass depictions of the Annunciation, Nativity, Crucifixion and Jesus with children, which enhances this arrangement. This set arrived in St. Stephen by boat in 1863. To the right of the stained glass is a reliquary regarded as containing a piece of bone from the arm of St. Stephen. A recent local event: In 2005, on entering our church, a lady with a pilgrimage tour bus from Connecticut experienced warmth and a severe case of shingles she suffered with for 2 years was immediately healed. Pastor Fr. Paul Riley was informed and exposed the relic for veneration to the group. For a time, this tour group included St. Stephen’s Parish in their pilgrimage tours. Saint Stephen, (died 36 ad, Jerusalem; feast day December 26), Christian deacon in Jerusalem and the first Christian martyr, whose apology before the Sanhedrin (Acts 7) points to a distinct strand of belief in primitive Christianity. His defense enraged his hearers, and he was taken out of the city and stoned to death. Stephen is first mentioned in Acts of the Apostles as one of seven deacons appointed by the Apostles to distribute food and charitable aid to poorer members of the community in the early church. It may be assumed that Stephen was born Jewish, but nothing more is known about his previous life. The reason for the appointment of the deacons is stated to have been dissatisfaction among Greek-speaking (Hellenistic) Jews that their widows were being slighted in preference to Hebraic ones in distribution of alms from the community funds.

  • The Speeches in Acts*
    Criswell Theological Review 5.1 (1990) 31-41. Copyright © 1990 by The Criswell College. Cited with permission. THE SPEECHES IN ACTS* SIMON J. KISTEMAKER Reformed Theological Seminary Jackson, MS 39209 About half of the Book of Acts consists of speeches, discourses, and letters. Counting both the short and the long addresses, we number at least 26 speeches that are made by either apostles and Christian leaders or by non-Christians (Jews and Gentiles). Classifying these speeches, we have eight addresses delivered by Peter,1 a lengthy sermon of Stephen before the Sanhedrin (7:2-53), a brief explanation by Cornelius (10:30-33), a short address by James at the Jerusalem Council (15:13- 21), the advice to Paul by James and the elders in Jerusalem (21:20-25), and nine sermons and speeches by Paul.2 The rest of the discourses were given by Gamaliel the Pharisee (5:35-39), Demetrius the silver- smith (19:25-27), the city clerk in Ephesus (19:35-40), Tertullus the lawyer (24:2-8), and Festus the governor (25:24-27).3 In addition, Luke relays the text of two letters: one from the Jerusalem Council to the Gentile churches (15:23-29), and the other written by Claudius Lysias addressed to Governor Felix (23:27-30). I. Sources The speeches in Acts make the book interesting, because when people talk we learn something about their personalities.

    “And Stephen Was Heard…” A Quarterly Newsletter Fall, 2020 Volume 1, Issue 1 of Saint Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church in Kearny, New Jersey FROM OUR PASTOR... My dear parishioners and friends of Saint Stephen’s parish, In the fall of 2013, our parish newsletter, “And Stephen Was Heard” was initiated as a part of Pope Benedict XVI’s call for Catholics to enter into a “New Evangelization”. The Pope was calling on all baptized Catholics to commit themselves to a better and more disciplined approach to speaking about and teaching the Catholic Faith. For different reasons, our newsletter lasted only a few issues. That doesn’t mean it was a failure, however. Other resources and other concerns began to demand more of our staff’s time and en- ergy.

  • As a Fisher of Men, Patience Is a Must I Have Been Fishing a Total of One Time in My Life, and It Was Among the Longest Three Ho
    As A Fisher of Men, Patience is a Must I have been fishing a total of one time in my life, and it was among the longest three hours that I have ever had. It was on a summer day in 2006. I was serving as a transitional deacon, as priests become deacons first, and that summer was spent at a suburban parish, Saint Hubert’s in Chanhassen. It’s kind of a “get your feet wet” summer for what parish life will be like before you are ordained the following summer. An elderly parishioner got in touch with me and asked if I’d like to go fishing. Having never been, I thought sure, why not. After getting a one-day license, we headed to a local lake. After some struggles backing the boat into the lake (I kept shouting “turn” at the top of my lungs but he did not hear me, but that is another story), we went out onto the lake for a few hours that morning. Though he had some type of radar gizmo to let us know where fish might be, neither one of us got a thing. Hopefully though he was able to have a nice morning on the lake. Understandably, I think he knew I was a bit like a fish out of water trying this new activity, and did not call me back. Now if I liked fishing, I’m sure I could learn the sport. I’d probably read up on techniques and learn about spots and lakes, and I’m sure would eventually catch something.
