The Deacon's Bench
Dropping by Deacon Scott Dodge’s joint for a visit, I was reminded that this is not only the feast of the Holy Family, but the feast of St. Stephen, proto-martyr and patron of deacons.
Below, a compelling modern interpretation of Stephen’s martyrdom, from artist James Michaels.
To all deacons, and all who serve the gospel: happy feast day.
