Reflections on Simon and Jude, Apostles

On the feast of Simon and Jude, we remember two lesser-known apostles who were chosen by Jesus to spread His message of love and redemption.



Their unwavering faith in the face of adversity reminds us that even in difficult times, we can trust in God's plan for us.

Heavenly Father, guide us to follow the examples of Simon and Jude in sharing Your word with others and standing firm in our beliefs. Give us strength to persevere in our faith, even when faced with challenges. Amen.

Go in peace, spreading the love of Christ to all you meet.
