℣.The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree.
℟.And shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus.
Collect
Almighty, everlasting God, who didst consecrate the first-fruits of the Martyrs in the blood of the blessed Levite Stephen: grant, we beseech thee, that he may intercede for us, who even for his persecutors entreated thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
