“Saint Matthias – Hope and Perseverance – Painting by Dino Carbetta” …

In the quiet shadows of sacred history stands a figure chosen not by acclaim, but by prayer—a man called forth to mend the breach left by betrayal, and to walk the hidden path of grace entrusted to the Twelve. This is Saint Matthias, the silent apostle, whose story whispers of humility, steadfast faith, and divine purpose. This painting gently reflects the quiet courage of a soul who said “yes” to a mission steeped in suffering and grace. His eyes, cast with calm resolve, speak not of grandeur, but of trust—trust rooted not in self, but in the will of God. There is no spectacle in his hands or bearing—only the quiet weight of obedience and the noble strength of perseverance. Saint Matthias was not among the Twelve at the beginning. Yet when called, he came. And in this lies the beauty of his legacy. He reminds us that God does not overlook the faithful soul in the background. Instead, He sees, He calls, and He sends. Matthias stepped forward not to claim a place, but to answer a need—to serve where there was a void, and to love where there had been betrayal. This work reflects not only the man, but the mission—the silent trials, the unrecorded days, the unheralded acts of courage. It calls us to consider our path: Do we serve with quiet faith when no one sees? Do we persevere when the world forgets our name, but God remembers our heart? Saint Matthias’ life, crowned in martyrdom, was not one of earthly reward, but eternal promise. His witness lives not in words left behind, but in the echo of his yes, still resounding through the centuries. Matthias stands at the end of his small boat near the shore in this painting, metaphorically waiting to join the other Apostles on their large ship at sea—a symbol of hope, humility, and the journey of faith to which we are all called.
