Which is the luckiest day in the Catholic Calendar? Fr. Nelson Lobo OFM Cap

 Wondering Guru (89)


 Hello Catholic have you ever wondered which is the luckiest day in the Catholic Calendar? Before you read further try to make 3 guesses. It's the feast day of St. Mathias. WHY? 

St. Matthias according to Acts 1: 15-26 was chosen  by the 11 apostles to replace Judas. His apostleship is unique because he was not chosen by Jesus but by the remaining 11 apostles. How did they choose him?

By praying and casting lots. The lot fell on Matthias. Since the lot cannot be predicted before hand whoever gets it is said to be lucky. So on the feast of St. Matthias (14 May) let me wish you a happy lucky day.
