Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles – October 28
This Tuesday, October 28, the Church celebrates the feast of Saints Simon and Jude, two of Jesus’ twelve apostles. Though little is known about their lives, their witness to Christ has inspired generations of believers.
Saint Simon, often called “the Zealot,” is remembered for his fervent love for God and commitment to spreading the Gospel. Saint Jude, also known as Thaddeus, is known as the patron saint of desperate or lost causes. Together, they remind us that every Christian, no matter their background, is called to courageously share the Good News.
As we honor these apostles, let us pray for their intercession. May their example inspire us to be faithful in our daily lives, to persevere in our faith, and to reach out in love to those around us.
A simple way to celebrate their feast is by offering a prayer or attending Mass this Tuesday in their honor. Saints Simon and Jude teach us that even in times of uncertainty, God calls us to be bold witnesses of His love.
