Episode Details

Today, we celebrate the feast of an Apostle. Matthias is his name. He was chosen to replace the slot of the twelve--clearly taken from the number of tribes of Israel, i.e., twelve--vacated by Judas Iscariot. They cast lots and the lot fell on Matthias. This is the wonderful thing. It is God who calls, but the way He calls may be just like that, as casting lots. It is God who chooses always.
