The Feast of St. Bartholomew
Daily Gospel Reflection on Veritas Catholic Network
Today is the Feast of St. Bartholomew , the Gospel reading is John 1:45-51. Nathaniel and Bartholomew are generally agreed by scholars to be same apostles, just different names from different language. Here we see Nathaniel under the fig tree. Jesus knows him, not just where he is, but that he is a true child of Israel, a faithful son. Nathaniel believes instantaneous. What do we learn? That through Nathaniel’s (and our) reception of the Gospel, many will come to know Jesus. Let us follow the apostolic example of St. Bartholomew so we might be witnesses to the Gospel to all we meet!
