St. Bartholomew, the Apostle

Feast Day - August 24th

Novena - Day 7

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 devotion to You he showed in enduring torture and death for love of You.

St. Bartholomew, you worked to preach the Gospel in many places and among many people who were hostile to the Christian Faith. Despite opposition and difficulties, you persevered in your work of service to God.

Please persevere in bringing my petitions before the throne of God!

When your work of preaching angered the brother of a newly Christian king, you suffered greatly on account of your Faith. Despite being skinned alive, you remained faithful. Pray for me, that I may remain faithful to God despite any sufferings I might face. Pray that I may endure all sufferings bravely, for the love of God.

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
