Work

Feast of St. Matthew, Evangelist and Apostle

Reflection

“And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” ~ Matthew 13:52

Prayer

Gracious God, your son Jesus called Matthew to leave his work as a tax collector behind and follow him. You call us to follow you through the work we do. Open our minds to your wisdom and our hearts to your call. Help us to see our work as a way of following you. May the work we do bring us closer to you and bring healing and peace to your people. We offer our prayer through your Son, Jesus. Amen. 

Call to Action

Do I see my work as a way of following Jesus or of living as God calls me to live? How does my work bring me closer to God and bring healing and hope to others?
