The Feast of St. Matthias, observed on February 24, honors the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot after his betrayal and death. Unlike the original twelve, Matthias was not called during Jesus’ earthly ministry. Yet, he had faithfully followed Christ from His baptism to His Ascension. His appointment was no accident; it was guided by God to keep the twelve apostles, the foundation of the Church, complete.
Though often overlooked, St. Matthias reminds us that God calls ordinary, faithful people to extraordinary missions. He didn’t seek status or recognition; he was chosen because of his quiet devotion. His life is a powerful witness to humble, steadfast faith. Matthias’s story assures us that God works in unseen ways, preparing hearts for His purpose—even when we don’t realize it.
