The Calendar ~

St Matthias, Apostle

St Matthias was chosen to take the place of Judas Iscariot in the Twelve Apostles between the Ascension and Pentecost. He was chosen by lot over Joseph Barabbas. He had been a follower of Jesus from the Baptism to the Ascension and was a witness to the Resurrection. He is mentioned in the Acts but not in the Gospels. Very, very little is known about his ministry after he joined the Twelve. He likely began his work in Judea, but a tradition then links him with Ethiopia, while others have him near the Caspian Sea. He was probably martyred, perhaps around the year 63. He is commonly depicted with an axe or halberd (combined spear and battleaxe) which is thought to have been the instrument of his death. Matthias represents God’s endorsement of those who may be on the periphery of the church but are nevertheless called to His service. His feast day is May 14. Prepared by Chris Burn

The Gospel The Holy Gospel is written in the tenth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the 1st verse. (BCP) Glory be to thee, O Lord. (BCP)

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. (BAS) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) Jesus said, "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers." Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So again Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:1-10) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS)

A Reading from the First Letter of Peter For it is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls. (1 Peter 2:19-25) The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

A Reading from the Book of Acts They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47)

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Psalm 23

Refrain: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters. Refrain.

He revives my soul and guides me along right pathways for his name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Refrain.

You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over. Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Refrain.
