Are you Saint Matthew's?![]() Wisdom of the Desert Fathers
Abba Lot came one day to see Abba Joseph and said to him, “Father, I keep my little rule to the best of my ability. I observe my modest fast and my contemplative silence. I say my prayers and do my meditation. I endeavor as far as I can to drive useless thoughts out of my heart. What more can I do?” The elder rose to answer and lifted his hands to heaven. His fingers looked like lighted candles and he said, “Why not become wholly fire?” |
We continue to celebrate 151 years of life in this place. 1871 - 2023. And we continue to pray, to hope, to work, to converse, to love and to live. To believe. We gather for worship service on Sunday at 10:00 am. Sunday's celebration is in the main church. The 10:00 am Eucharist is simultaneously available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/StMatthewsWorcester. A worship bulletin and accompanying Sunday newsletter are emailed each Saturday to those who so desire. If you would like to be included, please email to stmatthewsworcester@gmail.com with the subject line: "Please send me the Sunday bulletin." To see what's going on at Saint Matthew's day-by-day on Facebook, search for two pages: @StMatthewsWorcester and @StMatthewPastor. Let us continue to pray constantly for one another and for all the world. And please, continue to do the simple things that can help contain the spread of Covid-19 and the coming winter flu. Only together can we find the way forward. Blessings to you and to all whom you love! |
