#StMatthew #TaxCollector #Accountants #Bankers FEAST DAY: September 21 DAYS 7,8,9 NOVENA: September 18, 19, 20 PATRON SAINT OF: Accountants; Salerno, Italy; Bankers; Tax Collectors; Perfumers; Civil Servants; Bookkeepers Opening Prayer: God of mercy you chose a tax collector, Saint Matthew, to share the dignity of the apostles. By his example and prayers help us to follow Christ and remain faithful in your service. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Day Seven: Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) Dear Jesus, first and foremost, help me to find peace with God, for only then can I find true peace with others. Help me to do whatever it takes to create peace wherever I go, although my efforts may often meet with failure. Help me to love, desire, and delight in peace. Forgive me for all of the times my actions have resulted in discord and dissention, whether intentional or unintentional. Saint Matthew, you made your peace with God through Jesus, now please help me to make mine. Help me also to sow peace wherever I may go, just as you did, as a witness to Jesus Christ, and please intercede with Jesus in asking him to grant my desperate request, (State Request...) Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be St. Matthew, pray for us. ----- Day Eight: Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:10) Dear Jesus, please show me how to persevere in this struggle for things which are holy and honorable, because I fall down and grow weak so often. Help me to be faithful to you in all things, so that your will may be done in and through my life. Help me to be bold in my steady struggle for faith and unwavering in my commitment to all Godly things. Saint Matthew, please guide me to be courageous like you in standing on the side of God’s truth, even in the face of being persecuted for righteousness, and please intercede with Jesus in asking him to grant my desperate request, (State Request...) ----- Day Nine: Jesus said, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” (Matthew 5:11) Dear Jesus, as the times in which we live become darker and darker, living by your ways and following you is branding me in such a way that invites persecution and insult, just as it did you. If I live by your ways and love you with my whole being, I live by the light and provide a target for those who do not live by the light. Sinning is what gives most people pleasure, but I can no longer live that way, because I am aware of how much you sacrificed for me in love by dying on the cross. For all that you have done for me, I no longer desire to live in the darkness. Each time I receive an insult for belonging to you, please help me to bear it with great patience. Saint Matthew, in being given the awesome honor of being chosen to be an apostle, you were persecuted just as Jesus was persecuted. You felt, however, the persecution you experienced was also a great honor, because Jesus was not just a man, but he was indeed God. Help me to be strong enough to love Jesus’s light and to run from the darkness of sin and then, when persecution comes, to be strong enough to handle that as well. And please intercede with Jesus in asking him to grant my desperate request, (State Request...) 💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗 Pls. support my YT Channel (for my medical check ups and medications) Paypal Account: pink14mia82@gmail.com Thank you and God bless!
