Quare cum publicanis manducat

It’s St. Matthew day.

May we be helped, Lord, by the prayers of the blessed Matthew, your apostle and evangelist, that what we cannot obtain of ourselves may be granted to us by his intercession. (Collect, St. Andrew Daily Missal)

The picture, by Michaelangelo da Caravaggio (that’s karavajo), illustrates the divine inspiration of Matthew.
