Sermon for Feast of St. Barnabas

<p>Saint Barnabas is one of the fathers of the faith who is probably not well known to most people. More people are aware of St Paul of course, or even St Nicholas and St Valentine. But we actually know a lot more about Barnabas than we know about those other two. Barnabas is a prominent man in the early church, a companion of Paul on his first missionary journeys. As Luke writes in Acts, Barnabas was “a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith.”</p>
