Matthias was a disciple of Jesus and was chosen to replace the traitor, Judas. It is said that he preached the Gospel in Ethiopia and was martyred there. No letters of his have been found. But, a third century Egyptian theologian, St. Clement of Alexandria, quotes a single sentence attributed to Matthias: “We must combat our flesh set no value on it, and concede to it nothing that can flatter it.” This is the basis for invoking him against alcoholism.
