Saint Matthias the Apostle Framed Canvas Icon

Saint Matthias was not among the original Twelve chosen by Christ during His earthly ministry, yet Scripture records that he had faithfully followed the Lord from the time of His baptism by John, witnessing the whole course of His ministry, death, and Resurrection alongside the other disciples. Following the betrayal and death of Judas Iscariot, the remaining apostles gathered to choose a replacement who could bear faithful witness to the Resurrection, and after prayer and the casting of lots, the choice fell upon Matthias, who was numbered from that day among the Twelve. Tradition holds that he carried the Gospel to regions including Cappadocia and the area surrounding the Caspian Sea, enduring great hardship before his eventual martyrdom for the faith he had proclaimed. His selection stands as a reminder that faithful, quiet discipleship, even when unseen by history for years at a time, is precisely the kind of witness God calls upon when the moment of need arrives.

“And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” (Acts 1:26)

O holy Apostle Matthias, chosen to complete the number of the Twelve, intercede for us, that our own quiet faithfulness may be found ready whenever the Lord has need of it. Amen.
