Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle
After the Ascension of Jesus, Saint Peter proposed that the apostles select a worthy candidate to replace Judas Iscariot. The choice was Saint Matthias. He worked for the faith in Palestine and was stoned to death. Today First Reading of Holy Mass tells of how Matthias was chosen. (Acts 1:15 - 17, 20 - 26)
Let us pray.
O God, who assigned Saint Matthias
a place in the college of Apostles,
grant us, through his intercession,
that, rejoicing at how Your love has been allotted to us,
we may merit to be numbered among the elect.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
