Saint Stephen of Hungary!

I chose to celebrate the Memorial of Saint Stephen of Hungary because I liked what the opening prayer said, "Grant that Saint Stephen of Hungary, who fostered the growth of your Church on earth, may continue to be a our powerful helper in heaven" (Magnificat, 235). That really says it all about our journey here on earth and how we are to continue to the mission of the church. We can even sing the song of the psalmist who writes, "May all your works praise you, Lord, and your saints bless you; they will tell of the glory of your kingdom and proclaim your power" (Ps. 144:10-11). We pray that all we do here on earth will be for the glory of God and the common good of all peoples. We know what our mission is: proclaim the Good News, live our faith, and be of service to our brothers and sisters. May the intercession of Saint Stephen of Hungary help us to do just that! God Bless!!!
