Today is the Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle. Born in Cyprus, Barnabas is numbered among the first of the faithful at Jerusalem. Saint Luke described him as “a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith” (Acts 6:24). His given name was Joseph, but the apostles called him Barnabas, which meant “son of encouragement.” That name suited him as he was the first to urge the apostles to receive Paul in Jerusalem, when the history of Paul’s persecutions against Christians was a cause for doubt. In honor of Saint Barnabas today, let the Holy Spirit show you how to offer encouragement to someone in troubling times.

"The heart of Jesus is an abyss where everything can be found...

If you are in an abyss of dryness and weakness, go bury yourself in the heart of Jesus Christ, which is an abyss of power and love.

If you are in an abyss of weakness, of failings and miseries, go frequently to the heart of Jesus. It is an abyss of mercy and strength. It will relieve and fortify you.

If you find yourself plunged in an abyss of sadness, bury the sadness itself in the heart of Jesus, which is an abyss of heavenly joy, and the treasury of all the saints and angels.

If you are in trouble and anxiety, the divine heart is an abyss of peace, and that peace will be communicated to you.

When you are in an abyss of fear, the heart of Jesus is an abyss of confidence and love. Abandon yourself to it. You will there learn that fear will yield to love.

Finally, everywhere and in everything, bury yourself in this ocean of love and charity, and, if possible, never depart from it, that you may be penetrated with the fire, by which the heart is inflamed for God and humankind, as the iron in the furnace, or as a sponge cast into the sea and filled with its waters."
