SS. Simon and Jude

October 28, 2013:   SS. Simon and Jude, apostles, feast 

Readings

• Eph 2:19-22  You're no longer strangers but in God's household.  In Christ you're being built into a temple for God.

• Ps 19:2-5  "Their message goes out through all the earth."  The heavens declare God's glory,

• Lk 6:12-16  Jesus prayed, then called 12 Apostles to himself.

Reflections

• Pope Francis homily:  Entrust life to Jesus who continues to intercede for us.

• Pope Francis to media pros:  Don't flinch in the face of tech challenges.  Play like a team:  create bonds; come together; share resources.  Serve professionally.

• Universalis:  Saints Simon and Jude

• RC.net:  Lord uses ordinary people for greatness.  How do I respond?  What keeps me from giving myself unreservedly?

• Creighton:  We're part of the Christian family, called with the apostles to follow Christ, declare God's glory, share responsibility in the household.
