St. Bartholomew, the Apostle

Feast Day - August 24th

Novena - Day 1

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Bartholomew as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You he showed by answering the call of Jesus to be an Apostle.

St. Bartholomew, you were one of the twelve men specially chosen by Christ to serve as His Apostles. You followed Him willingly and grew close to Him throughout the time that you spent with Him.

Please bring my petitions before the throne of God!

Along with the other Apostles, you had a close friendship with Our Lord during the time He spent on earth doing His public ministry. Pray for me, that I may grow to have a deep friendship with Christ in my daily life. Pray that I may always seek to grow in my relationship with Him at every opportunity.

Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).

St. Bartholomew, pray for us!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.1
