Spiritual Reflections From a Priest in the Rockies
On September 21st, the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Matthew. Since my youngest brother bears the name of this evangelist, I always felt an affection for this Gospel, though I will admit that the Gospel according to St. Luke is my personal favourite of the 4 Gospels.
We can take time this coming Saturday to thank St. Matthew for composing the Gospel that bears his name after he was promoted and inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this divinely inspired text, first for the Christians of Jewish descent who made up many of the first followers of Christ and then for all subsequent generations who would rejoice and be challenged by his faithful retelling of the Birth, Ministry, Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Just imagine if he had not composed this Gospel? We would never have known about the dreams of St. Joseph to take Mary as his wife, to escape to Egypt to save his family the murderous designs of Herod to slay the newborn Christ and to return to Nazareth once the danger was averted. Nor would we have known about the visitation of Magi or many specific details about the Passion of Christ and His Resurrection from the dead.
Had he not obeyed the summons of Jesus on that fateful day our Lord called him from his tax booth to leave behind his former life and come and follow him, so many stories about the life of Christ may never have been retold to the determent of the entire human family of the past, present and future.
St. Matthew, Apostle, Evangelist and Martyr of Christ, pray for us!
"Jesus called Matthew: 'Follow me.' Following meant imitating the pattern of his life and not just walking after him." St. Bede the Venerable
