Feast of Sts. Simon and Jude, Apostles

Today is the feast of the Apostles Simon and Jude. Both are said to have spread the faith and become martyrs. I thought a good way of celebrating this feast day would be to read through the epistle attributed to St. Jude. It is a short letter, but contains some great exhortations about keeping the faith.

Here is an excerpt: (verses 20-25)

"But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. On those who waver, have mercy; save others by snatching them out of the fire; on others have mercy with fear, abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh.
"To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of his glory, to the only God, our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come. Amen."
