Saint Bartholomew, Apostle

Can you see?

John 1:45-51

From the book of Revelations: "The city walls stood on twelve foundation stones, each one of which bore the name of one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." (Apocalypse 21:9-14)

As we celebrate the feast of the Apostle St. Bartholomew or "Nathaniel", the theme for today's feast is about seeing.  Jesus saw the good in Nathaniel.  Nathaniel saw the Messiah in Jesus.  Jesus revealed the heavens open and the angels and the Son of Man descending to the earth.

Let us see things in a different light, through the eyes of faith.  Don't be entangled by what is physical, for as quoted from the book "The Little Prince," what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Listen also to the young.  In a poem created by young people, "Listen to what I'm not saying."

Third, Jesus declares, "Whenever you do this to the least of my brothers and sisters you do it to me."

Let's not lose sight of the kingdom of God.  It's in our midst.
