Saints Simon and Jude (Thaddaeus) were two of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

First Reading

Eph 2,19-22.

Brothers and sisters: You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God,

built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.

Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord;

in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 19(18),2-3.4-5.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.

Not a word nor a discourse whose voice is not heard;

Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message.

Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot,

and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
