Faith

This week the Church celebrates Saint Matthew. 

According to the Gospel, Matthew was working at a collection booth in Capernaum when

Christ came to him and asked, "Follow me." With this simple call, Matthew became a disciple of Christ.

Many years following the death of Christ, around 41 and 50 AD, Matthew wrote his gospel account. From Matthew, we know of the many doings of Christ and the message Christ spread of salvation for all people who come to God through Him. 

Prayer

God of Mercy,

You chose a tax collector, Saint Matthew, to share the dignity of the apostles. 

By his example and prayers help us follow Christ and remain faithful in Your service.

We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, 

Amen.
