Saint Barbatus. He liked to read the Bible. When he was still very young he became a priest. He was appointed pastor, but the town where he went was very hostile and did not want to listen to him. So he returned to his native town where he found out that people were worshipping idols. At last, people left their errors and Barbatus was appointed bishop. He never ceased in his defense of the truth.

Are you discouraged by difficulties? Do you sometimes feel tempted to abandon what you had intended to do?
