It is Ember Wednesday & my Latin Mass parish celebrated the feast of St. Matthew. When Jesus called the tax collector (Matthew 9:9-13), they were loathed by the Jews for their collaboration with the Romans & their dishonesty, it reminds us that no one is beyond redemption. https://t.co/eG5jCy7G1j

21 September: Feast of St Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist. Born in Capernaum, and working as a tax-collector when Jesus called him. He is thought by some scholars to have written an early version of his gospel in Aramaic, a precursor to the Greek version. St Matthew, pray for us! https://t.co/U49527NFp5
The feast day for St. Matthew celebrates the life of Jesus' disciple who wrote the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four gospels in the New Testament that tells stories of Jesus Christ.
