Me 21 shtator kalendari kujton Shën Mateun, Apostull e Ungjilltar

The Church celebrates the feast of Shën Mateun, Apostull e Ungjilltar, on 21 shtator.

Vatican News reports that Shën Mateun was a tax collector called by Jezusi to follow him. His life serves as an example of someone who leaves everything behind to follow Christ. The report notes that Jezusi includes everyone in his friendship and that the preaching of the Gospel is a gift of God's grace for sinners.
