Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles – Feast
First reading – Ephesians 2:19-22
Today we are celebrating the feast of two great Apostles, Simon the Zealot and Jude, the patron saint of lost and desperate causes. The reading helps us to understand how much close we are to the apostles and what is our identity. The Apostles and prophets are the foundations of the building of which Christ Jesus is the main cornerstone. We are part of this building; we are part of the God’s household. As every part of the building is aligned on the cornerstone, we all grow into one holy temple in the Lord. We are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit. We all are being built into one house. Let’s reflect: Do I recognize that I am a part of the holy temple where God lives in the Spirit?
