🌅 THURSDAY, JUNE 11 — Memorial of St. Barnabas, Apostle
📖 “He was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.” — Acts 11:24 (Gospel: Matthew 5:20–26)
St. Barnabas was nicknamed the “son of encouragement.” He saw potential in Paul when others were still afraid of him, and he built up the early Church not by being in the spotlight, but by lifting others. In a culture obsessed with self-promotion, be a Barnabas. Encourage the new hire. Believe in a teammate’s comeback. Reconcile quickly — as today’s Gospel urges, settle with your brother before bringing your gift to the altar. The Kingdom grows through encouragers.
✨ Love Much — be someone’s son or daughter of encouragement today.
