THE CHOOSING OF MATTHIAS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE CHOOSING OF MATTHIAS

 

 

Judas is the one failure

That we know of-for sure

 

And NOT because

God gave up on him

God NEVER does that

But because he gave up on himself

 

DESPAIRED

 

And our God-our Lord

Picked a man to replace him

 

“Therefore it is necessary

To choose one of the men

Who have been with us

The whole time

The Lord Jesus went in and out among us

 

Beginning from John’s baptism

To the time

When Jesus was taken up from us

 

For one of these

Must become a witness

With us

Of his resurrection”                                                         Acts 1:21 & 22

 

They cast lots

And Matthias was chosen

 

Like the other Apostles

Matthias received

The gift of the HOLY SPIRIT

At Pentecost

 

It is believed

That he preached

First in Judea

And later near the Caspian sea

Possibly in Ethiopia

 

His relics

Were moved to Rome

In the 11th century

 

Dear Lord we pray

That as your true followers

Become less and less in today’s world

And with the coming of Pentecost yet again

 

We pray that we have the courage

To STEP FORWARD like Saint Matthias

And that your spirit

 

THE SPIRIT OF FIRE

THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

THE SPIRIT OF GOD

 

LIVES in us

 

Saint Matthias’ feast day is May 14th
