# Saint Matthias – A Prayer on His Feast Day
*2015-05-13*

> Bill Young reflects on the little‑known Apostle Matthias and offers a prayer asking for his intercession on his feast day.

## Remembering Saint Matthias

Today is the feast of Saint Matthias, the twelfth apostle chosen to replace Judas after the events recorded in Acts 1:15‑26. Though he is not as prominent as the other apostles, Matthias was called by the Lord to share in the mission of the Twelve.

## A Prayer to Saint Matthias

Father, you called Saint Matthias to share in the mission of the apostles. By the help of his prayers, may we receive with joy the love you have shared with us and be counted among those you have chosen. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, we ask this in your holy name.

*May Saint Matthias intercede for us, that we might joyfully share in God’s love and be counted among the chosen.*
