"Video caelos apertos, et Jesum stantem a dextris virtutis Dei: Domine Jesu, accipe spiritum meum, et ne statuas illis hoc peccatum."
"I see the heavens opened, and Jesus standing on the right hand of the power of God: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit, and lay not this sin to their charge."
--the Communion prayer for the Mass of Saint Stephen, taken from Acts 7. 55, 58, 59.
Saint Stephen, Protomartyr, pray for us! (And a happy feast day to my son Stephen and to all of you Stephens/Stevens: what a great patron you have!)
