The Feast of St. Matthias



If Donald Trump is the reincarnation of Pompey Magnus, what does that make Hillary. Some kind of pantsuited, overweight Livia? As you ponder that, don't forget it's the Feast of St. Matthias the Apostle. Here's his Collect:

O ALMIGHTY God, who into the place of the traitor Judas didst choose thy faithful servant Matthias to be of the number of the twelve Apostles; Grant that thy Church, being alway preserved from false Apostles, may be ordered and guided by faithful and true pastors; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

God bless,

LSP

  1. That axe in his hand makes me think that he's about to butcher a large hawg.

  2. I, too, have hawgs on the mind... and the freezer, happily.

  3. One wonders why the tax collector among the Apostles would have an axe... perhaps for extracting a pound of flesh?

  4. Legend has it that he was beheaded after his execution, as an enemy of Caesar. It seems they didn't like a Tax Collector going over to the other side...
