The
Feast of St. Matthew
September
21st
On September 21st, we celebrate the Feast of St.
Matthew. An apostle and evangelist, Matthew is identified with
Levi, a tax collector mentioned by Mark and Luke. In the Gospel
according to Matthew, it is said that Matthew was seated in the
custom-house when Jesus bade him, “Follow me.”
Tax collectors were viewed as extortionists who
took money from their own people to further the cause of Rome and
to line their own pockets. They were spurned as traitors and
outcasts – not the sort of person that a devout Jew would have
had among his closest associates. Yet Jesus noted that it was the
publican rather than the proud Pharisee who prayed the acceptable
prayer, “Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner.”
We
thank you, heavenly Father, for the witness of your apostle and
evangelist Matthew to the Gospel of your 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 lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for ever. Amen.

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has
been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue
to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer
than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it
outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them.
We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups
together again.
