Today's gospel reading (24.08.21): Luke 22.24-30 (St Bartholomew) Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel) was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, martyred for his faith in Armenia c.100. There is a cost to following Christ - for some, even their very life; even in our own day.

On 24 Aug 1572, Charles IX authorized assassination of Protestant leaders in France. The ultra-right Catholics led by the Guise family quickly escalated the plot which turned into massive slaughter of all Protestants, the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. https://t.co/soAn0tzXPW https://t.co/ch1B302SZz
