St. Barnabas, Apostle (11 June): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Barnabas the Apostle, though not one of the original Twelve Apostles, became one of the greatest missionaries of the early Church and a powerful instrument of the Holy Ghost in spreading the Gospel throughout the world. In this reading from Fr. Alban Butler's classic work, The Lives of the Saints, discover the remarkable life of St. Barnabas—his generosity in selling all his possessions for the poor, his role in introducing St. Paul to the Apostles, his missionary journeys through Cyprus and Asia Minor, his participation in the Council of Jerusalem, and his eventual martyrdom for the Catholic Faith. Known as the "Son of Consolation," St. Barnabas exemplifies charity, humility, courage, and complete detachment from worldly riches. His life remains a powerful witness to the Gospel and a model for Christians seeking holiness in every age. 00:00 Introduction to St. Barnabas 00:16 Barnabas Called an Apostle 00:40 Meaning of the Name Barnabas 01:09 Disciple of Christ and the Seventy 01:33 Selling His Estate for the Poor 02:22 Ananias and Sapphira 03:39 Barnabas' Virtue and Holiness 03:55 St. Paul Introduced to the Apostles 04:26 Mission to Antioch 04:59 Barnabas and Paul Labor Together 05:15 Christians First Called Christians at Antioch 06:25 Charity During the Great Famine 07:23 The Holy Ghost Commissions Paul and Barnabas 08:34 Missionary Journey Begins 08:43 Preaching in Cyprus 08:59 Conversion of Sergius Paulus 09:21 Ministry in Pisidian Antioch 09:47 Persecution and Expulsion 10:05 Miracle at Lystra 10:14 Mistaken for Jupiter and Mercury 10:30 Stoning of St. Paul 10:46 Return Through the Churches 11:11 The Council of Jerusalem 11:48 Humility of St. Barnabas 12:13 Separation from St. Paul 12:47 Transformation of St. Mark 13:21 Mission to Cyprus 14:08 Martyrdom of St. Barnabas 14:40 Discovery of His Relics 15:27 Lessons from His Detachment from Riches 16:17 Final Reflection https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/june/st-barnabas-apostle/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
