Saint Bartholomew - 24th August
Saint Bartholomew: Come and See
Yesterday, 24 August, the Church celebrated the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles.
In the Gospel, Philip invites Nathanael simply to “come and see.” Jesus recognises in him a sincere and open heart and calls him to follow.
Saint Bartholomew reminds us that Christ already knows us, sees what is within us and invites each of us into a deeper relationship with him. Like Philip, may we also have the courage to invite others to come and encounter Jesus for themselves.
