Saints celebrated on the 11th of June
SAINT BARNABAS, APOSTLE
Saint Barnabas was born in Cyprus. He was one of the first converts in Jerusalem. Soon after Pentecost, Barnabas went with St Paul on his first missionary journey, and took part in the Council of Jerusalem. Afterwards, he returned to Cyprus to preach the gospel, and died there.
PRAYER:
God our Father,
you filled Saint Barnabas with faith and the Holy Spirit
and sent him to convert the nations.
Help us to proclaim the gospel by word and deed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
