Matthias: Humble and Ready to Grow

February 24, 2021 By Ryan Kuratko 1 Comment

‘Humility.’ We can use the word in such ugly ways, but humility simply means to be real, to be honest, to be ourselves. If you’re doing Lent, it’s a good Lenten word.

Our faithfulness is not a reality show to be won, but rather transformation for God and glory to God alone.

The Feast of Saint Matthias: Showing Up

February 24, 2019 By Dorian Del Priore 2 Comments

Very little is known about Saint Matthias, as he is only mentioned in the first chapter of Acts when he is elected to replace Judas as an Apostle. Early church fathers believe that he was among the 72 sent out by Jesus, but the only thing we know for sure about Matthias is this: he followed Jesus from the beginning and was present throughout the ministry of Jesus.

The disciples cast lots to select St. Matthias. My kids do too.

February 24, 2017 By Allison Sandlin Liles 15 Comments

The Israelites didn’t see casting lots as a game of chance. They saw it as a revelation of God’s will.
