II Class
The Mass of this Sunday reminds us that all men are called to heavenly reward and happiness.
St. Matthew, Apostle, Evangelist (II Class)
St. Matthew was at first a publican at the toll station at Capharnaum. The publicans, on account of their many acts of injustice and extortion, were looked upon as the greatest sinners by the Jews. Matthew himself by his humble confession gratefully acknowledged the gracious condescension of the Lord to sinners. At his Master's invitation he promptly joined Him. He wrote the first Gospel and preached the Good News in Palestine and in Ethiopia, where he was attacked and killed while saying Mass in 60.
Today was a sleepy day of recovery from our trip to Prague.
