Saint Matthias, Apostle – Feast
Readings of the day
First Reading: Act 1:15-17,20-26
Psalm: 112:1-8
Gospel: John 15:9-17
In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.

You did not choose me but I chose you… Read more »
