September 21 - St. Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist (Feast):
Collect:
“O God, who with untold mercy
were pleased to choose as an Apostle
Saint Matthew, the tax collector,
grant that, sustained by his example and intercession,
we may merit to hold firm in following you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”
Today Scripture readings and reflection:
ymlp232.net/archive_gbmbuqgjgu.php
“St. Matthew was a publican, that is, a tax collector for Rome, a profession that was despised by the Jews. Our Lord called him to be an Apostle; his vocation reveals all professions, all work, and all other endeavors should be sanctified. According to tradition he preached the Gospel as far as Persia or Ethiopia. He is the author of the first Gospel, and his name appears in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I).” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

September 23 - St. Pius of Pietrelcina, Priest (Memorial):
Collect:
Almighty ever-living God, who, by a singular grace,
gave the Priest Saint Pius a share in the Cross of your Son
and, by means of his ministry,
renewed the wonders of your mercy,
grant that through his intercession
we may be united constantly to the sufferings of Christ,
and so brought happily to the glory of the resurrection.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever."
"St. Pius (1887-1968), affectionately known as Padre Pio, joined the Capuchin Friars and was later ordained a priest. For fifty years he lived at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotundo, where his miraculous abilities as spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor attracted the attention of the world. His humility and constant devotion to the Eucharist caused him to remark often, “I only want to be a friar who prays.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

“The aspiration to rise above others is deeply rooted in the heart of man. Its source is usually pride. On this 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we are invited to overcome that pride with humble and generous service.”
“In the Gospel, Jesus challenges his disciples and us to be the servant of all. That is the most practical and effective way to counteract the devastating consequences of 'the passions that make war within our members.’ (Second Reading.)”
“In this Eucharist, let us ask the Lord to grant us the grace to be able to serve with love and for love…” (p.1).
True success comes from humble service …

lead us to follow trustingly in the little way of Saint Therese,

“Born in Alecon, France, St. Therese (1873-1897) entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux at the age of fifteen. Known as the Little Flower of Jesus, she was known for her humility and complete abandonment to God. Her writings, which were undertaken at the behest of her superior and plublished posthumously, reveal in their simplicity a profundity of spiritual progress and understanding. She is a Doctor of the Church.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)
