8. Februar
Hl. Johannes von Matha, Bekenner
Fest angezeigt für das Jahr 2027; bewegliche Feste können von Jahr zu Jahr variieren.
Der heilige Johannes von Matha war ein französischer Priester, der um die Wende vom 12. zum 13. Jahrhundert lebte. Er wurde um 1160 in der Provence geboren und empfing eine gründliche Ausbildung, bevor er zum Priester geweiht wurde. In einer Zeit, in der viele Christen durch Sarazenen gefangen genommen und versklavt worden waren, erkannte Johannes eine besondere Berufung: Er widmete sein Leben der Befreiung christlicher Gefangener. Gemeinsam mit dem heiligen Felix von Valois gründete er im Jahr 1198 in Rom den Orden der Heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit zur Erlösung der Gefangenen, auch Trinitarier genannt. Dieses Werk, das auf einer Vision des Heiligen zurückgeht, bestand darin, durch Almosen und Spenden Mittel zu sammeln, um Gefangene freizukaufen und sie so aus ihrer Not zu befreien.
Die Spiritualität des heiligen Johannes war zutiefst von der Anbetung der heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit geprägt, wie auch das Zeichen seines Ordens, das dreifarbige Kreuz, verdeutlicht. Seine Sorge um die leidenden Mitmenschen, besonders um die Gefangenen, war Ausdruck tätiger Nächstenliebe. Johannes von Matha starb 1213 in Rom. Sein Fest wird gefeiert, um an seinen Einsatz für die Barmherzigkeit und seine heroische Liebe zu erinnern, die er in einer Zeit großer Not und unter schwierigen Bedingungen zeigte. Die Kirche ehrt ihn heute besonders als Vorbild des selbstlosen Dienstes an den Armen und Unterdrückten und hält sein Gedächtnis in Ehren, um alle Gläubigen zur Nachahmung seiner Tugenden zu ermutigen.

Eccli 31:8-11
Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Sir 31:8-11
Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.
℟. Dank sei Gott.

℟. Ehre sei Dir, o Herr!
Luke 12:35-40
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.
