Thought
Speak for equal share to poor
Fight for those uncared for
Faith, signs and wonders shown
Remember on Lá Fhéile Stiofáin
Courageous words disturbed
Still face of angel unperturbed
Stones hurled in anger thrown
Remember on Lá Fhéile Stiofáin
Wren, the king of all the birds,
This night caught in the furze
Betrays unseen by winter song
Remember on Lá Fhéile Stiofáin
Dance sing and miming play
Victories for justice on this day
To bury the wren and raise a coin
Remember on Lá Fhéile Stiofáin
Prayer
O Lord grant that I, emulating the example of Saint Stephen, be calm in the face of adversity, steady and faithful in the face of anger and unwavering in adherence to truth. Grant that I may play Thy game with Thee well.
