St. Bartholomew, the Apostle

Feast Day - August 24th

Novena - Day 2

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 virtue he showed in his life with Christ in which he was “incapable of deceit.”

St. Bartholomew, we do not know a lot about your early life, but the Gospels tell us that you were chosen specifically by Jesus to serve Him as one of the Apostles. You continued to serve Him throughout His public ministry and even after His time on earth was done.

Please continue to bring my petitions before God!

In the Gospels, you were singled out for your honesty. Jesus praised your virtue, saying that you were, “incapable of deceit.” Pray for me, that I may be honest and virtuous in my life, as you were. Pray that I, too, may be incapable of deceit in every aspect of my life.

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
