He came from Cana in Galilee and followed Jesus. We know little of him, but he may have gone to Persia where he was martyred by being flayed – skinned alive. Did you know that in Michelangelo’s picture of Bartholomew from the Sistine Chapel, in the flayed skin is a picture of Michelangelo himself!
As so often, the gospel turns the values of the world upside down! Followers of Jesus are invited to humility, openness and not seekers of power or the limelight!
The church is closed this week to be redecorated. Weekday Mass will move into the church hall. Please help keep things ticking over in the practical arrangements for each day. Thanks for your patience!
