Saint of the Week: St Matthias

1st century

Feast Day: 14th May

 

Matthias replaced Judas as Christ’s twelfth apostle. Chosen by the remaining eleven apostles, the choice was between Matthias and Joseph Barsabbas. The requirement was that the replacement be "someone who has been with us the whole time that the Lord Jesus was travelling round with us, someone who was with us right from the time when John was baptising until the day when he was taken from us – and he can act with us as a witness to his resurrection." (Act 1:21-22.) Then the eleven prayed, "Lord, you can read everyone’s heart; show us therefore which if these two you have chosen to take over this ministry and apostolate, which Judas abandoned to go to his proper place. They then drew lots for them, and as the lot fell to Matthias, he was listed as one of the twelve apostles". (Acts 1:23-26) He is thought to have preached in Judea, Cappadocia, near the Caspian Sea and to have travelled to Ethiopia.
