Novena prayer for finances11/15/2023 This must not have been easy, since you came from a life of privilege. Saint Matthew, you gave up a life of worldly pleasures to follow God’s word made flesh in Jesus, trusting that he would take care of all your needs. Although evil may seem to triumph, these are temporary triumphs indeed, because the meek, not the wicked, shall inherit the Earth. Therefore, I submit my will totally to you. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.” (Matthew 5:5)ĭear Jesus, I know that I can do all things through you who gives me strength, but not according to my will, but yours. Help me to truly mourn for all the sins I have committed and please intercede with Jesus in asking him to grant my desperate request, (STATE REQUEST). Saint Matthew, as a former tax-collector, you were considered one of the worst sinners, but Jesus called you anyway to be one of his apostles. All that I am and all that I hope to be is solely because of your grace and mercy and nothing else. I love you more than I love myself, and can do nothing without you. I know it was my sins that condemned you to die. With all my heart, please forgive me for ever having offended you. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)ĭear Jesus, even though I have committed such grave offenses against you and God, you still loved me enough to give your life for me so I could be free in Heaven. Help me to be so poor in spirit that I acknowledge my own nothingness before God on a moment-by-moment basis, and please intercede with Jesus in asking him to grant my desperate request, (STATE REQUEST). Saint Matthew, as you were one of the lucky twelve who walked the Earth with Jesus by your side, you were continually made aware of your own nothingness before his greatness and saw many evidences of God’s immense grace. Please save me, and please forgive me, for I am lost without you. I am not worthy of your love, but you are my only hope. I have gone against you and hurt you with each and every sin I have committed. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)ĭear Jesus, I have sinned against God and you. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. By his example and prayers help us to follow Christ and remain faithful in your service. God of mercy you chose a tax collector, Saint Matthew, to share the dignity of the apostles.
