Little is known about these 3 apostles but their testimony to the Gospel was as powerful and as far reaching as that of the better known and more outspoken disciples.
Month: April 2023
Apostle Thomas – Pessimist, Lover or Doubter? / Spiritual Meditations
He may have had his doubts about Jesus’ resurrection, as did the other 11, but St. Thomas, evangelist to India, had great redeeming qualities.
Apostle Matthew Banned from Synagogue/Spiritual Meditations
As a tax collector, Matthew had effectively cut himself off not only from his own people, but also from God.
Apostle Nathanael – the Candid One / Spiritual Meditations
Nathanael’s (Bartholomew) mind was tainted by a degree of prejudice against Nazareth, but his heart was guileless.
Apostle Philip – the Numbers Guy / Spiritual Meditations
Philip embraced Jesus as the Messiah from the beginning, yet even after seeing miracles and hearing Christ’s teaching for months, he missed the point that Jesus and God were of the same essence.
