Take Five today! Saturday, August 24 Feast of Bartholomew, apostle God knows (you) The little we know of Bartholomew (a.k.a. Nathaniel) includes a fascinating story in which Jesus (whom he’d never met) pays him the compliment of being a man “without deceit.” Nathaniel was at a loss that Jesus not only knew him and his character but had already somehow seen him “under the fig tree”—an expression that may be a euphemism for being a seeker of peace, a seeker of the kingdom of God. If you feel alone facing what today has in store, pray confidently with the psalmist, “Lord, you probe me and you know me. . . . with all my ways you are familiar,” and, full of trust, encounter again the Lord who knows you.
