St. Bartholomew, Apostles, Feast

Apocalypse 21:9-14
Psalm 144(145):10-13a,17-18
John 1:45-51

COME TO JESUS

Today’s readings emphasize the significance of heaven. We must stay focused on the ultimate prize, just as Bartholomew did when he sought spiritual enlightenment under the fig tree. When Philip introduced him to the Messiah from Nazareth, St. Bartholomew initially questioned whether anything good could come from Nazareth. However, after encountering Christ, he recognized Him as the Son of God.

St. Bartholomew made the wisest decision of his life by coming to Jesus. As it says in Psalms 145, “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him.” Our prayer life can be as simple as coming to Jesus and seeking Him for rest, as stated in Matthew 11:28. Let us also have a deep desire to draw closer to Jesus and focus on the things above where Christ is. Amen.
