It is All about Wisdom

Famous Quotes

"Faith, then, is the foundation of piety. Let me speak to you briefly of this faith, so that we may lay an indestructible foundation. Then we may build the whole building with safety. It is fitting, therefore, that those who have enlisted in this special army of the spirit believe in the God of the universe, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the cause of all things, the inexpressible, the incomprehensible, who can be explained neither by word nor understanding, who has by His kindness and goodness created all things."

They become an obstacle to the coming of the Kingdom of God. This is why the spirituality of Jeanne Jugan can attract the followers of Christ and fill their hearts with simplicity and humility, with hope and evangelical joy, having their source in God and in self-forgetfulness."   Read more

24AUGUST2011 - St. Bartholomew

 



Life:
Not much is known about the life of Saint Bartholomew. He is mentioned by name four times in the New Testament—once in each of the synoptic gospels (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14) and once in the Acts of the Apostles (1:13). All four mentions are in lists of Christ’s apostles. But the name Bartholomew is actually a family name, meaning the “son of Tholmai” (Bar-Tholmai, or Bartholomaios in the Greek). For that reason, Bartholomew is usually identified with Nathaniel, whom Saint John mentions in his gospel (John 1:45-51; 21:2), but who is not mentioned in the synoptic gospels.  Read more..
