Catholics celebrate the memorial of St. Barnabas( known as Son of Encouragement) today, June 11.
The apostle and missionary were among Christ's earliest followers and were responsible for welcoming St. Paul into the Church. Though not one of the 12 apostles chosen by the Lord, Jesus, he is traditionally regarded as one of the 72 disciples of Christ and most respected man in the first century Church after the Apostles themselves.
St. Luke described Barnabas as 'a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith' (Acts 11: 24), and he was known for his exceptional kindliness and personal sanctity, and his openness to pagans.
He is the patron saint of second chances and invoked during the hailstorm.
@instablog9ja This message is supposed to be rightly directed to the Commander-in-Chief he has the power to hire and fire any service chief that is not performing. Why are they still on seat if they can't do the job.
