Spirit of the Lord, who speaks the words of God in our hearts, may we respond to your invitations and promptings without delay, that we would join in what you are about and not miss the good things that you have prepared for us and for all the world, through Jesus our teacher, who showed us the Father and now reigns above in glory forever. Amen.
‘As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.’ – Matthew 9:9
