In Defense of Simon of Cyrene

For many years I have had an overwhelming desire to come to the defense of Simon of Cyrene.

Information

Welcome to the Matthiast blog, honoring St. Matthias. This man, an apostolic blip in the salvation narrative, followed Jesus from the beginning, was never mentioned in the Gospels, chosen by lot in the Acts of the Apostles, then vanished, literarily, that is. Here we celebrate the spirit of this virtually invisible servant of Our Lord, and hope to be as faithfully selfless as he was.
