St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

gracelinesheader

“The other Evangelists, out of respect forSt Matthew Apostle AngelMatthew, did not call him by his common name, so they said Levi. But Matthew called himself Matthew and a publican, that he might show his readers that no one ought to despair of salvation … since he himself suddenly changed from a publican to an apostle.”

For Reflection:

What “sudden change” may God be asking me to make today?
St. Matthew, pray for me.

A GRIEF SHARED

As Ronda reminds us, “Jesus does have the power to lift you, in a manner and time suitable to your own temperament, up to a new level of the Spirit, where your joy in Him will be fuller.” May “Walk With Me, Jesus” be for you a source of comfort, consolation, wisdom, and hope. And may you discover, as I am doing, that God’s grace is not only sufficient, it is infinite and will meet your every need.
~Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, July 31, 2008
