Simon & Jude

Yesterday was the day of Sts. Simon and Jude. They were apostles who went to preach in Mesopotamia in the first century and who were martyred in Persia in 65AD. If you have a seemingly hopeless problem, St Jude is the man to pray to about it. His name sounds so like "Judas" that very few people pray to him so he is always efficient and benign to those who do call on him.
