St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

“The other Evangelists, out of respect for Matthew, St Matthew Apostle1did not call him by his common name, so they said Levi. But Matthew called himself Matthew and a publican, that he might show his readers that no one ought to despair of salvation … since he himself suddenly changed from a publican to an apostle.”

            - St. Jerome on St. Matthew

For Reflection: 

What “sudden change” may God be asking me to make today?

                                    St. Matthew, pray for me.
