O Umphostoli uBartholomew obusisiwe, sikuhlonipha futhi sikhazimulisa ngokuba nawe wethu. Ukhethwe nguJesu ukuthi ube ngesinye sezisekelo iBandla elihlala kulo: busisa umphakathi wethu wesonto, ukuze ngaso sonke isikhathi ukwazi ukuphendula ekukholweni ukuthi Wena nabanye abaphostoli nisidlulisele kithi.
UBhartholomew, ubizwe nguJesu, "um-Israyeli weqiniso okungekho-manga kuye"; Sisize ekuzuzeni kwakho kanye nasekuthandazelweni kwakho ukuze sibe ngofakazi bokholo beqiniso, phakathi kwezwe lethu, kwesinye isikhathi ngamanga nabangakholwayo, lapho kuthiwe singamakholwa kepha uNkulunkulu enqatshelwe ukukhulekelwa kweqiniso.
Wabizwa ngokuthi ungumngane kaJesu ngoba wenza intando yakhe: qinisa ubungane bethu noNkulunkulu ngokufunda ukuba ohlangothini lwecebo likaYise.
Kwangathi ukubulawelwa ukholo lwakho makube yisibonelo sokuphila kwethu ukuhlupheka, kungaze kube yize uma kufakwe emfihlakalweni yokuhlangana noKristu, kuZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele esingathanda ukukufinyelela ebukhoneni obungapheliyo Wena nabo bonke abangcwele. AMEN
