Saint of the day and spiritual life #Apôtres

Saint Simon le Zélote et Saint Jude (Thaddée) étaient tous deux apôtres de Jésus-Christ. Après la Résurrection, ils parcoururent différents pays pour prêcher l’Évangile. Simon prêcha en Égypte et en Perse, tandis que Jude voyagea en Judée, Samarie, Syrie et Mésopotamie.Tous deux furent martyrisés pour leur foi : Simon aurait été crucifié ou scié en deux, et Jude tué par la lance ou la massue. Ils sont célébrés ensemble le 28 octobre. Saint Jude est particulièrement invoqué pour les causes désespérées. Leur vie rappelle le courage, la fidélité et l’espérance face aux difficultés.
