Devotion to St. Matthew: Rewrite a new covenant with the Lord!

O Glorious St. Matthew, in your Gospel you describe Jesus as the desired Messiah who fulfilled the Old Covenant prophets and as the Lawgiver who founded a New Covenant Church. Obtain for us the grace to see
Jesus living in His church and following His teaching in our life on Earth so that we can live forever
with him in heaven. O Glorious Saint Matthew, by the grace of God our Father you have given us the Holy Gospel, which brings us joy and life.

Inspired by your example, I ask for your assistance in all my needs. Help me follow Christ and remain faithful to his service. God of Mercy chose a tax collector, St. Matthew, to share the dignity of the apostles. With his example and prayers, help us to follow Christ and remain faithful to Your service. We ask you this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You 
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Jesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

 Dear Jesus, I have sinned against God and against you. I went against you and hurt you with every sin I have committed. I am not worthy of your love, but you are my only hope. Please save me and please forgive me, because I am lost without you St. Matthew, as you were one of the lucky twelve who walked the Earth with Jesus by your side.

You were continually made aware of your nothingness in the face of his greatness and saw many proofs of God's immense grace. Help me to be so poor in spirit as to recognize my nothingness before God moment by moment, and please intercede with Jesus by asking him to fulfill my desperate request
