Send us a textTuesday, 28 October 2025 – Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles (Red)Readings:•First Reading: Ephesians 2:19–22.••Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 18(19):2–5 – “Their word goes forth through all the earth.”••Gospel: Luke 6:12–19Introduction.Today we celebrate Saints Simon and Jude, apostles chosen by Jesus to carry His message to the world. In the readings, we see the call to unity and mission: Paul reminds us that we are all members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and Christ Himself, while the Gospel shows Jesus selecting His twelve apostles after a night of prayer.Main Point: “Answer God’s Call and Build Unity in His Household.” (Ephesians 2:19–22; Luke 6:13)God calls each of us to a specific mission, just as He called Simon and Jude. Answering this call is not only about personal growth, but also about strengthening the community of faith. Unity is essential: as Paul says, we are all being built into a holy dwelling where God lives.When Jesus called the twelve, He spent the whole night in prayer showing that discernment and prayer are vital before acting in God’s name. Similarly, our daily decisions, whether to help, forgive, or guide others, are part of building the “temple” of God’s presence in the world.Concrete Example•In your family or workplace, focus on fostering collaboration and understanding.•Volunteer to support your parish or community, helping people grow together in faith.•Pray before making decisions that affect others, asking the Spirit to guide your words and actions.Way Forward•Listen for God’s call in prayer and respond courageously.•Work to maintain unity, not division, in your family, parish, and community.•Build God’s presence daily through love, service, and prayer.SummaryMain Point: Answer God’s call and build unity in His household. Verse: “You are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” (Ephesians 2:19)PrayerLord, you called Simon and Jude to carry Your message. Help me to hear Your call in my own life, to act with love, and to build unity wherever I go. Amen.Support the show
