St Mathias, who was chosen after the Resurrection to become the 12th apostle in place of Judas Iscariot.

                           Antiphon on Psalm 80  

                                  for St Mathias Day

 O Lord, look down from heaven; 

behold and tend this vine. 

A salubrious 

reminder 

that while 

each of us 

is beloved, 

none  of us is 

indispensable.
