The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.

John the Baptist Catholic Church ~ Savannah, Georgia ~

“It became obvious why Catholics had built such
beautiful cathedrals and churches throughout the world.
Not as gathering or
meeting places for Christians.
But as a home for Jesus Himself in the Blessed Sacrament.
Cathedrals house Jesus.
Christians merely come and visit Him.
The
cathedrals and churches architecturally
prepare our souls for the beauty of the
Eucharist.”

Today is the FEAST DAY of St Bartholomew
Nee:
Cana
Apostle and
Martyr
"Here
is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in
him."
- said of
St Bartholomew by Jesus - Gospel of St John 1: 47
Among the twelve apostles
great…There was Bartholomew…Known also as
Nathanael…Among Christ’s chosen few…He too received The Holy Ghost…And he
preached everywhere…That every soul might turn to God…And no one might
despair…St Philip introduced him to…The Master and The Lord…And thus he came to
understand…The goal he struggled toward…Bartholomew proclaimed the faith…Through
all the barbarous East…And in the truest Christian sense…He was a holy
priest…His death was double martyrdom…As legend now abide…
Condemned to death,
Bartholomew…Was flayed and crucified.
