Friday, June 11th
St. Barnabas
Acts 11:21-26, 13:1-3. Matt. 10:7-13

The 'son of consolation' was My first apostle to the Gentiles. Realising the width and depth of the Gospel message and prompted by Our Holy Spirit, he understood the need for knowledge and perceptive thinking. And so he went to Tarsus to look for Saul and brought him to My young, dynamic Church in Antioch. From there My gospel spread: gradually Our dynamic, comprehensive message was identified and taken into heart and mind. That message is the Father's love for every one of His beloved sons and daughters of every race and faith and dispensation, and My promise of Our saving, sanctifying Presence in all accepting it in faith and trust and self-giving.

I am the Father's Message to all times and peoples.
