Evening: Psalm 19, 146; Acts 9:26-31
Today
the Church remembers Barnabas, who sold a field and gave the proceeds
to the apostles. This was in keeping with their revolutionary practice
of holding possessions in common. Barnabas gave his property to serve
the common good. Later, he brought to the apostles a man named Saul,
who had persecuted Christians. Barnabas vouched for him. Saul, as Paul,
spread the message of Jesus throughout the known world. So indirectly,
Barnabas’ acts of faithfulness changed the world. May Barnabas inspire
us, too, to the small acts of faithfulness that make more of a
difference than we can ever imagine.
