The feast of the day

Feast of Matthew Apostle

Today the Church keeps Matthew Apostle — feast.

Matthew was a despised tax collector when Jesus said simply, "Follow me." He wrote the first Gospel, addressed to Jews, showing Jesus as the fulfillment of every Old Testament promise.

The season

Ordinary Time

We are in the Twenty-fifth Week of Ordinary Time — the Church wears green.

The long, green stretch between the great seasons — the everyday of faith, where most of the Christian life is actually lived. Today, though, the Church sets that aside and wears red — for the feast of Matthew Apostle.
