Evening: Psalm 33; I Samuel 12:1-5; Acts 20:17-35
Today the Church remembers Matthias, who replaced Judas. Tradition holds Matthias is the first apostle chosen, not by Jesus but, by the Spirit. The Acts of the Apostles describes the early Church as living in the power of the Spirit. St. Paul’s life is so directed by the Spirit that he is “a captive to the Spirit.” Many early apostles let go of their own priorities and give their lives over to sharing Good News. But their ‘captivity’ is not harsh or onerous to them ... they gladly let their lives be directed by the power of the Spirit.
