Matthew was one of the Twelve Apostles and the traditional author of the Gospel according to Matthew.
A vocation is a calling by God to holiness. Everyone has a permanent vocation in life, either to priesthood or religious life, marriage, or consecrated single life. We are all called to pursue holiness in every situation we find ourselves in life.
Matthew’s Gospel is an orderly and reliable historical account of Jesus’ life and teachings.
Two of the main themes of Matthew’s Gospel are how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament promises of God and the proclamation of the Kingdom of God.
