St. Simon & St. Jude ( Apostles)
October 28
Little is known of St. Simon & St. Jude except that they were chosen by Jesus as apostles and appear well down on the list of the twelve disciples. They do not figure prominently in the Gospel stories, as do some other apostles. After Jesus' Ascension there is no reliable account of what happened to them. Unlike St. Peter and St. Paul, whose words and deeds are widely reported in Scripture and whose achievements dramatically affected the society of their day, Simon and Jude appear to have done little in their lives that was notable. Yet the Church celebrates them among her founders, seeing their preaching revealing God to us and their prayers aiding their growth.Prayer for trust
O Christ, when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of your presence, your love, and strength. Help pus to have perfect trust in your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to you. We shall see your hand, your purpose, your will through all things.
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556
