St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist
Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13. Matt.9:9-13

Matthew was ready to respond in faith and trust. He was intelligent and worldly, quick to identify the way of profit in this world's goods. Yet he was not satisfied and he was ready for a better way when it was offered him. And offered him it was. The Father had chosen him for leadership within the Kingdom of His love, the Word had spoken to his heart and mind and he recognised the call when it was given. And he followed, joyfully offering all he had and all he was to Our light and life and leading.

So are you called, beloved of the Father: I speak to one I speak to every one. Follow faithfully that you may know the fullness of eternal life and through our life and light and leading become Our word to others.
