1. St. Stephan’s day celebration after Christmas is beautiful. St. Stephan saw the heaven opened. That is what happened in Christmas. Heaven is opened for us with the birth of Jesus Christ. (Acts 6: 8-10.12; 7.54-60)
  2. We face more provocations than persecutions. Provocations are a kind of persecution. Your love inside your heart is challenged. Don’t lose the love. If you don’t lose love, the Holy Spirit will inspire you what you have to say when you are provoked. (Mt 10: 17-22)
  3. So, to give testimony is not about what you say but who you are. (Mt 10: 17-22)
