Saint of the day and spiritual life #Apôtre

Saint Obadiah (also known as Obadiah or Obadiah of Babylon) is a saint in the early Christian tradition. According to several traditional accounts, he was one of the seventy-two disciples sent by Jesus to proclaim the Gospel. After Pentecost, the Apostles chose him to become the first bishop of Babylon, one of the oldest Christian communities located in the Persian Empire. Although his story is partly based on ancient traditions, Saint Obadiah has been venerated for centuries for his missionary zeal and his faithfulness to the message of Jesus.
