From Matt to Mike - and another

Today is the feast of St. Matthew, the tax collector and writer of the first Gospel.
One may begin a novena today, which culminates on the feast of St. Michael, September 29.

Another novena begins on that same day, September 29, and completes on that very famous day, October 7, the feast of the Holy Rosary, the day of the victory by Don John of Austria over the forces of Islam at Lepanto.

There's a lot to pray for, so take your choice and get busy.
