Homily for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, 2026 - Fr. Satish Joseph
Homilia para 21st Domingo, 2026, Ciclo A - Padres Satish Joseph
Today the church commemorates Saint Bartholomew — apostle and martyr thought to have been, along with Saint Jude, a missionary to Armenia. This is a special day of celebration for the ancient Armenian church. Tradition says that Bartholomew’s martyrdom involved being flayed alive!
Catholic tradition has also identified him with Nathanial who appears in today’s Gospel story, though some scholars doubt they are the same person.
Holy Spirit of God, Breath of my breath, Life of my life, Soul of my soul; I praise you, I adore you, I worship you.
I bring before you my whole life; my heart, my soul, my mind and my body.
Come, possess me and make me holy.
