When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, I humbly come before you today, you who came to earth so meekly, born to die, to show us how to live. Today we celebrate one who had great trust in you, who took your words to heart. May we, too, be like Saint Stephen: \u201cangel-faced\u201d and heavenly minded in all we do. Lord, I humbly ask for this grace: to be filled with your Spirit to enable me to think like you and speak boldly of you and persevere to the end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n\t<li><strong>Beware:<\/strong> Today we read \u201cBeware of men.\u201d What a warning! We ourselves are mere \u201cmen\u201d when we are not filled with your Spirit and relying on the Lord. How easy it is for us to fall into prideful thinking \u201c<em>I <\/em>got this,\u201d \u201c<em>I <\/em>can do this,\u201d and <em>\u201cI <\/em>am in control\u201d are just some of the thoughts of \u201cmen.\u201d How contrary to that thinking are the Lord\u2019s ways. Only <em>with<\/em> God are \u201call things possible.\u201d Only <em>with<\/em> God do we have the grace to combat thinking like \u201cmen.\u201d Let us heed the warning of Saint Paul, \u201cSee to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ\u201d (Col 2:8). May we have the \u201cmind of Christ\u201d to discern when we are falling into the world\u2019s ways versus the Lord\u2019s ways.\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>No Worries:<\/strong> How impossible it is for those of us thinking like \u201cmen\u201d to avoid anxiety and worry. It is so easy to act like a Christian and so difficult to <em>react<\/em> like one. When our hearts are filled with God\u2019s grace, however, we will hear him telling us what to say \u201cin the moment.\u201d If we rely on grace, the Lord promises that the Father will speak through us. Today, the day after we celebrate the Lord\u2019s birth, let us ask for the grace to be born ever anew so that the Lord may always and everywhere \u201cspeak through us\u201d in word, thought, and deed.\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Hated by All?:<\/strong> We must ask ourselves which banner we will march under. God\u2019s? Or the world\u2019s? Sometimes the choice is very obvious, and at other times there is only a subtle dividing line between a good or evil action. Let\u2019s pray for the clarity to know what to do in any given moment and the desire to speak well always. Perhaps, by our example, we will inspire others to do the same.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Dear Lord, only by your grace can we think, speak, and live according to your will in this fallen world. Only by trusting and fully relying on you can we persevere to the end and be saved\u2014but oh, happy day when we do! Lord, bless us so that one day we will be \u201cangel-faced\u201d like Stephen, and by our life\u2019s witness help to plant and water the seeds for the future of the Church.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will say a little prayer before I open my mouth to give my opinion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Check out: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.ascensionpress.com\/2018\/09\/17\/blood-of-the-martyrs-is-still-seed-for-the-church\/\"><em>Blood of the Martyrs Is Still Seed for the Church<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.melissaovermyer.com\/about\">Melissa Overmyer<\/a> is a convert to Catholicism; founder of the Georgetown Women\u2019s Bible Study and Something Greater Ministries; and vlogger and author of four books.
