ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 21st of September
SAINT MATTHEW, APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST
Matthew was a tax gatherer, born at Capernaum, called by Jesus, for whom he left everything and turned to a new life. His Gospel was written in Hebrew. Tradition tells that he preached in the East.
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 to follow Christ
and remain faithful in your service.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
(Saint Matthew is the patron saint of bookkeepers and accountants.)
