Feast · Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles
About today
Simon the Cananean and Jude (Thaddeus) are named among the Twelve. Little else is recorded; the Church honors them together on 28 October as apostles sent, not as biographies we can fill in. Jude’s short letter urges the beloved to contend for the faith once delivered, without becoming quarrelsome. Their feast is a feast of the unnamed labor of apostles. Ask today for fidelity in obscurity, and for a heart that will remain when the story of our lives is known only to God.
Original – Prayer on Fire.
