Description

Cardinal Martini reflects on the life and legacy of Stephen, the first martyr, in a deeply personal and theological exploration. Drawing on the Acts of the Apostles, he examines the significance of Stephen's story for the entire community of believers. Stephen's experience offers profound insights into the nature of witness and service, highlighting the importance of embracing one's mortality as a means of contemplating God's glory. This meditation on the figure of Stephen reveals the richness of his legacy, which lies in his ability to proclaim, contemplate, and adore the mystery he proclaims. By exploring Stephen's story, Cardinal Martini invites readers to engage with fundamental questions about faith, identity, and the human experience.
