Saints’ Days and Holy Days — St. Matthew (September 21)
Frank ColquhounAlmighty Father, who in the holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew hast revealed to us our blessed Lord as the promised Messiah of Israel and King of men: Mercifully grant that we, recognizing his sovereign claims, may offer him the homage and service of our lives, and ever acknowledge him to be the Lord; who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, now and for evermore.
