What little we know about Saint Barnabas comes to us from Acts of the Apostles, where he plays a fairly big role in the expansion of the early Church. Closely associated with Saint Paul, he shared in several of Paul’s trips and difficulties.
The Jerusalem authorities sent Barnabas to Antioch to look into the situation there with Gentiles in the church. Impressed by what he saw there, he undertook a structured ministry among those Gentiles.
Anthony became linked to the city of Padua although he did not live their permanently until he had completed his service as provincial minister.
Saint Joachima was a wife, mother, widow, and founder of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity. Used to taking care of others, she experienced total dependency on others toward the end of her life.

When life takes a turn for the worse it can feel as if God has forgotten us, doesn’t see us, or worst of all, doesn’t love us. If something disrupts your plans today, reinforce your trust in God by silently repeating the phrase, “I trust in you, God,” until your sense of calm is restored.
