Readings for the Feast of St Barnabas

1st Reading:  Barnabas chosen by the Holy Spirit

Responsorial Psalm: Barnabas preached the Gospel in many nations

Gospel:  Jesus' first missionary instruction for his disciples

Reflection:
After Paul's conversion, many Christians were afraid of him ....couldn't believe he'd been converted.
It was Barnabas who helped Paul break the ice....it was Barnabas who introduced Paul to the apostles....Barnabas who first saw the goodness in Paul. Barnabas is the sort of person who is willing to give people a second chance, let them make a fresh start

Prayer:  
Jesus, please help me see the goodness in other people. Help me be like Barnabas, willing to give people a second chance
