Barnabas was the “The Guy” before fading in the background and allowing Paul to flourish. There would be no Paul without Barnabas; there would be no Paul without the humility of Barnabas. Father Mark exhorts us to fight against any ego inside of us; to fight any desire within us that wants people to applaud us. Father Mark encourages us to pray the Litany of Humility.
