"As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector's booth; and He said to him, "Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him." Matthew 9:9
Today we celebrate the feast day of Saint Matthew, a normal guy just doing his job who responded to Christ. Each of us has that same opportunity to listen to the call of the Lord and follow Him. We think everything has to be just right before we respond. Saint Matthew was a tax collector, not a prestigious job, nor was he perfect far from it. God does not call the perfect, He perfects the called. Will you heed and follow His voice just where you are at today.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
Saint Matthew pray for us.
Dear Lord God, we go out each day into the world, remind us the example we set impacts those around us. May we never forget our purpose in life is to get to heaven. Perfect in us Your Holy Spirit, give us the grace to respond to Your voice and be attentive to the task at hand. O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You. Speak to them God so they can change their ways. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
