St. Matthew
Ephesians 4:1-7, Matthew 9:9-13

Grace is the Father’s love in action and it is given as it is sought to build the one and many into life eternal. All are offered it and it increases in the heart and mind as response is made in constructive action. I am beside all who seek a better way than they have known, calling to commitment to the Father’s will and loving purpose, Our Holy Spirit there to lead and guide.

My beloved Matthew had already set out on the way to which I called him through his dissatisfaction with the deviousness of his occupation: he was ready to respond to our call. So he found the Way, the Truth, the Life and gave himself in absolute self-giving.

Stay close to be, believing, beloved of Me and of the Father. Plant your steps in Mine and I, the Son of Man, will lead you to the Lord of Glory. Remember, I am with you till the end of time and into the fulness of eternal life.
