Lord God, even in the hour of darkness
you speak peace to your people;
pray turn our hearts to you,
that we may hear you.
When others ignore or insult us,
yet may we hold our peace.
When they are enraged
and grind their teeth,
fill us with your
Holy Spirit.

Stephen. But filled

Then Jesus said
to the chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders who had
come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a
bandit? When I was with you day after day in the temple, you
did not lay hands on me. But this is
your hour, and the power of darkness!"
