Ac 11: 21b-26; 13, 1-3; Mt: 5:13-16

Being the light for others

Barnabas was indeed the light for others. His life was filled with love, the love of God, towards all creation, and generosity toward others. Barnabas showed in his daily life his understanding of Christ as a God of mercy and compassion. He was known as the son of encouragement. We learn from him that life is an ongoing journey of discovery of God, self, and the world around us. We must always bring Christ's light to others.

May St Barnabas and his life give us a good example to follow in our individual as well as in our community life.

St Barnabas, pray for us!
