O Glorious Saint Matthew, in your Gospel you portray Jesus as the longed-for Messiah who fulfilled the Prophets of the Old Covenant and as the new Lawgiver who founded a Church of the New Covenant. Obtain for us the grace to see Jesus living in his Church and to follow his teachings in our lives on earth so that we may live forever with him in heaven. Amen.
Prayer to Saint MatthewDear Levi, now known as Matthew, you were first a publican, a taxcollector, and then a gatherer of souls for Christ after immediately following his call. Later you wrote worderful accounts for your Jewish brethren of what Jesus, descendant of David, said and did as Teacher and Savior.
Make all Accountants imitate your example in giving careful and honest accounts.
Dear publican become a Saint, after once gathering taxes and tolls how wonderful was your conversion by grace when discarding your earthly possessions you followed the Poor Man of Nazareth. The Mammon of Money is still worshiped. Inspire bankers with kindness and with the desire to help where they can; for what is done to the least, to the poor, is done to Jesus, the Son of Man. Amen.
