St Matthew (21 September)

Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum, et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi 'Sequere me.'

 

Today's Latin text is a reading from S. Bede on S. Matthew (which inspired the current papal motto miserando atque eligendo):

 

Translation: Jesus then saw the publican and when he saw him, he chose him with compassion, saying "Follow me."

 

Bede, Homily 21 (CCL 122, 149-51)
