Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Today’s Gospel Reading is Jn 15:9-17, the Feast of Matthias the Apostle.

The Apostles knew they needed to reconstitute the fullness of the group. As such, they had to replace Judas. They prayed that God would reveal His choice to them. Ultimately, they chose Matthias and he was numbered among the 12.

By our Baptisms, we too, are brought into the community of the Church to be witnesses to Christ in the world.
