Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

St. Matthew the Apostle, Pray for us


.


Call of St. Matthew by Carravagio




We thank thee, heavenly Father,
for the witness of thine apostle
and evangelist Matthew to the Gospel of thy Son our Savior;
and we pray that, after his example,
we may with ready wills and hearts
obey the calling of our Lord to follow him;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
now and for ever.
