St Barnabas, apostle

Psalm 116:6

Turn 
again 
to your 
rest, O 
my soul, 
for 
the Lord 
has 
treated 
you well. 

Barnabas was a nickname meaning 

“son of encouragement.” He vouched for the authenticity of Saul’s/ Paul's  conversion. Like Paul, he is 

called an apostle although they were not 

of the original 12. Prayers 

are suggested or preachers, 

for reconciliation for those at variance with one another and 

for Cypress (where he was born) 

and Turkey.
