St. Paul says that we are members of the household of God. That is a wonderful truth — that God is truly our Father and we are His beloved children. Through the gift of the Spirit, we are now the adopted children of God and co-heirs with Christ, His Son, of the eternal Kingdom. Let us live today in joy and love as children of the Heavenly Father.


Ephesians 2:19-22

19 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, 20 built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. 21 Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; 22 in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Psalms 19:2-3, 4-5
R: Their message goes out through all the earth.

1 [2] The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2 [3] Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge. (R) 3 [4] Not a word nor a discourse whose voice is not heard; 4 [5] through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message. (R)

G O S P E L


We do not know very much about the lives of Simon and Jude or their ministries as Apostles. What we do know is that Jude is the saint we pray to for hopeless cases and that, through his intercession, God will act in some wonderful ways. Let us therefore never give up hope for anyone we may be praying for, but persevere and entrust them into the intercession of this special saint.

ALLELUIA
R: Alleluia, alleluia

We praise you, O God, we acclaim you as Lord; the glorious company of Apostles praise you.
R: Alleluia, alleluia


Luke 6:12-16

12 Jesus went up to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. 13 When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, 16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
