About this sermon
The Church is celebrating the feast of Saints Simon and Jude this week, apostles and martyrs whose stories are less known but whose faith brought Christ to the world. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John speak to the closeness of Sts. Simon and Jude to Jesus. Said to be the least known among the apostles, St. Simon the Zealot and St. Jude Thaddeus are understood to have been Jesus' cousins, chosen to be among the 12 apostles who were later sent out to evangelize the world. Believed to have been brought to Rome by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, who legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire, their relics now rest in one of the greatest churches in Christianity.
