Stephen, protomartyr
First Reading: Acts 6: 8-10; 7:54-59

8 Now Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people.

9 Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen,

10 but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

7:54 When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him.

55 But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,

56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57 But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together.

58 They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 31: 3cd-4, 6, 8ab, 16bc, 17

3 incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me! Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to save me.

4 You are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake lead and guide me.

6 Into your hands I commend my spirit; you will redeem me, LORD, faithful God.

8 I will rejoice and be glad in your love, once you have seen my misery, observed my distress.

16 My times are in your hands; rescue me from my enemies, from the hands of my pursuers.

17 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your kindness.

Gospel: Matthew 10: 17-22

17 But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues,

18 and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans.

19 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.

20 For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

22 You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.
