Memorial of St. Barnabas, Apostle
Lord God, you are the salve of our wounds, the comfort to the afflicted who suffer the punishments of our own hubris. Preserve us in times of strife, and aid us in times of challenge. Lead us to rest everlasting, and the cessation of pain in life after death. Amen.
