Today's gospel reading (21.09.21): Matthew 9.9-13
(St Matthew)
Matthew responded to the call of Jesus on his life, no doubt to the dismay of the onlookers. He was, after all, a tax collector, a despised occupation in Jesus' day. Yet no-one is beyond God's love and mercy.

21 Sept is St Matthew's feast day. Doesn't have much to do with the apostle with the pen... it's more a weather & harvest marker.
If Matthew's Day be fine and clear, good wine you'll have throughout the year.
Unfortunately, it's rather cloudy here in Vermont. Sigh... https://t.co/ZKBp1CRtfJ
*9/21-St. Matthew*
St. Matthew evangelized Ethiopia, resurrected the King's son, & converted his daughter Ephigenia, who consecrated herself to God. The next King sought to marry Ephigenia; St. Matthew condemned him, & so he was martyred.
