Remembering Bartholomew, Apostle to Africa

On August 24th the Anglican Calendar commemorates the life and ministry of Saint Bartholomew, predestined by the Father, commissioned by the Son, and empowered by the Spirit to be the Apostle to the peoples of The Levant.

"Almighty and everlasting God, who gave to your apostle Bartholomew grace truly to believe and to preach your Word: Grant that your Church may love what he believed and preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever." Amen.
