24th August – Saint Bartholomew
“Here is a true child of Israel. There is no guile in him.” Bartholomew/Nathanael answered Him: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.” (John 1:47-48)
Saint Bartholomew, you met Jesus, the Nazarene, and you immediately discerned Him to be the Son of God, the King of Israel. Your openness to divine grace enabled our Lord to touch your soul and change you forever. Please pray for me, that I will also be open to the divine presence of the Son of God so that He can touch my soul and change my life. (My Catholic Life)
