WORD Today
9/21/20
Eph4:1-7,11-13
Mt9:9-13
Today is the Feast of St Matthew. One day, while he was busy w/ his job as tax collector, Christ passed by & said to him, "Follow me."
Matthew followed at once & left everything to work for the Kingdom as an Apostle & writer of the Gospel.
Christ comes to us too any time of the day. He comes calling our attention when we are busy. He can also come thru a messenger, when we are busy w/ work, & invite us to join some "work of ministry for building up the Body of Christ," the Church (1st Reading)
Christ's ultimate call for all of us is to join the intercessory ministry in heaven & pray w/ St Matthew & other Saints for our loved ones on earth.
May He give us the amazing grace so that we can hear & respond every time He calls.
Bulahang adlaw!
