As the feast of Sts Simon and Jude is Monday, October 28th - we preach about these two apostles in the Sunday Sermon.
Simon is called the Zealot - because he was filled with much zeal for the Gospel. Simon was martyred by being sawn in half.
Jude is called Thaddeus - because he was "big of heart" and still has much compassion for those in hopeless cases. He is the brother of James the Less and a cousin of Jesus by way of St Joseph (his uncle).
(this sermon is part of a systematic effort to preach on all Apostles from July 2024 to January 2026. The sermons on other Apostles can be found [here]!)
