Loving Father, we thank you for this wonderful day. Please grant us the grace we need so that we may be able to do your holy will today. As you call St. Matthew to follow you in today’s gospel, may we also say yes to your invitation to be with you and to stay with you always. Grant us an open heart and a humble spirit. Keep us in your loving care and sustain us in all we do.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
