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.
