On the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, the readings rightly reflect on discipleship. In the gospel Jesus selects and commissions the twelve chosen as Apostles from his many followers. From that band of twelve hearty Apostles the good news of salvation spread across the globe, the church took root and the history of human kind was changed when the force called “Christianity” was loosed upon the world.
