Collect
O God, who didst join blessed Matthias to the company of thine Apostles: grant, we beseech thee, that through his intercession we may ever be conscious of thy loving-kindness toward us. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
