On 8/22/13 I wrote in my journal..."who do I have to cling to but God." and what does God tell me today during the Collect during mass...Strengthen in us, O Lord, the faith, by which the blessed Apostle Bartholomew clung wholeheartedly to your Son, and grant that through the help of his prayers your Church may become for all the nations the sacrament of salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
St. Bartholomew is the patron saint of a whole bunch of things, but one thing in particular caught my eye...neurological diseases. Really? Really God are you speaking to me like this? I pray for St. Bartholomew's intercession. I pray that your will be done and that I may accept your will with grace. I pray that I may cling only to you Lord and no other. Today, tomorrow and all the days of my life. For this and all things I pray in your name. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Bartholomew the Apostle
O Glorious Saint Bartholomew, Jesus called you a person without guile and you saw in this word a sign that he was the Son of God and King of Israel. Obtain for us the grace to be ever guileless and innocent as doves. At the same time, help us to have your gift of faith to see the Divine hand in the events of daily life. May we discern the signs of the times that lead to Jesus on earth and will eventually unite us to him forever in heaven. Amen.
