Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle, August 24

Philip found Nathanael and told him,
“We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law,
and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
But Nathanael said to him,
“Can anything good come from Nazareth?”
Philip said to him, “Come and see.” (Jn 1:45-51)

Philip does not try to convince Nathaniel by arguments or proofs . . . he simply invites Nathaniel to “Come and see.” Perhaps it’s a lesson about evangelization that we all need to learn. Today's picture is a statue of Saint Bartholomew (who was flayed alive) from the Cathedral of Milan.
