Matthias, Apostle

 Today on the Church calendar we remember and recall St. Matthias, Apostle

Almighty God, You chose Your servant Matthias to be numbered with the Twelve. Grant that Your Church, ever preserved from false teachers, may be taught and guided by faithful  and true pastors; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and rules with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
