Friends of the Rosary,
Today, May 14, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Matthias, apostle and martyr, chosen by the Holy Spirit.
Matthias, who was present in the Upper Room at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came down as tongues of fire, would become the twelfth apostle after Judas’ betrayal and death.
The events took place this way: after the Ascension of Jesus, St. Peter proposed to the assembled faithful that they choose a disciple of Christ to fill the place of the traitor Judas. Prayers of all would result in favor of Matthias.
He brought the Gospel to Judea, Cappadocia (present-day Turkey), the coasts of the Caspian Sea, and Ethiopia.
Matthias is often pictured with an ax, which suggests that he was beheaded.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
