Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Today we’re reminded of a people on the threshold of liberation, told to eat in haste with sandals on their feet and staff in hand, because God is eager to deliver. Paul strips the law down to its irreducible core — love your neighbor as yourself — and then sounds the alarm: the night is far gone, the day is near, so put on the armor of light and put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus gives his church a demanding and hopeful vision of community: go directly to the one who has wronged you, pursue reconciliation with patience and witnesses, and trust that where two or three are gathered in his name, he is there in the midst of them.

In this week’s readings, God speaks from a burning bush that is not consumed, revealing the divine name to a reluctant Moses: I Am Who I Am. God sends him directly toward the suffering he had fled. That same holy ground runs beneath Paul’s breathtaking vision of the Christian life: genuine love, hospitality extended to strangers, evil overcome not by force but by good, enemies fed rather than conquered. Jesus makes the cost explicit: Take up your cross, lose your life to find it. The God who grafts love into our hearts and brings forth the fruit of good works is the same God who sends us, like Moses, back toward the very place we thought we could not go.

Almighty and everlasting God, who gave to your apostle Bartholomew grace truly to believe and to preach your Word: Grant that your church may love what he believed and preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Feast of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, celebrated on August 24, honors one of the Twelve whose faithful witness endures even though Scripture tells us little about him. Named in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Bartholomew—meaning “son of Tolmai”—is often identified with Nathanael, the friend of Philip in John’s Gospel. When Jesus called him, Nathanael responded with honest skepticism, only to be recognized by Jesus as “an Israelite without guile.” Upon realizing who stood before him, Nathanael proclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God.” Ancient tradition holds that Bartholomew carried the gospel to distant lands, including India, where the teacher Pantaenus reportedly found a Hebrew copy of Matthew’s Gospel left behind by him. Later accounts place his martyrdom at Albanopolis in Armenia, where he was said to have been flayed alive for his faith. Bartholomew’s life reminds the church of the courage to bear witness even when unseen and of the call to proclaim Christ with integrity, steadfastness, and truth.

In this week’s readings, God’s purposes cannot be drowned, buried, or oppressed into silence; they keep multiplying, keep escaping, keep surfacing in the most unlikely places. Shiphrah and Puah, two midwives whose names Pharaoh never bothered to learn, fear God more than empire and quietly subvert the machinery of death; a mother hides her son in a basket of reeds and a princess pulls him from the water, and the deliverer of Israel is saved by the courage of women on both sides of the divide. Paul calls the church to be transformed, presenting our different gifts as parts of one body in Christ. And Jesus turns to his disciples and asks the question that still demands an answer: Who do you say that I am?
