Feast of St. Matthias

Almighty God,
who in the place of Judas
chose your faithful servant Matthias
to be numbered among the Twelve:
Grant that your Church,
being delivered from false apostles,
may always be guided and governed
by faithful and true pastors;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
