Bountiful God, giver of all gifts,
who poured your Spirit upon your servant Barnabas
and gave him grace to encourage others:
help us, by his example,
to be generous in our judgements
and unselfish in our service;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Today's the feast of St Barnabas, a 1st Century apostle who in Acts accompanies Paul on several of his journeys. Here he is in glass by Herbert Bryans, 1908 at Mattishall, Norfolk. pic.twitter.com/wpCfEfYQAY
