For 24 August 2021, Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle, based on John 1:45-51
Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.’ Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’ When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said of him, ‘Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!’ Nathanael asked him, ‘Where did you come to know me?’ Jesus answered, ‘I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.’ Nathanael replied, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.’ And he said to him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’

Dear Maria,
As a professed Dominican Sister of Peace for almost 61 years, I continue to be inspired and challenged by the words of our lay women Dominicans and Associates. Thank you for your reflection and challenge to continue the journey in openness to the Word of God and to pray for our world to live in peace. It is as you have said through a deep relationship with Jesus, the Father and Spirit that we can respond each day. Thank you and witness you and your family give to us.
