You who were chosen by Jesus to be follower, disciple, apostle and martyr, we implore you to intercede for us the Parish Family that bears your name. Teach us to live in the friendship of Jesus each day of our lives.
St. Simon, grant us the zeal that burned in your heart for the renewal of the earth.
St. Jude, you who patron those who most need inextinguishable hope, teach us never to give up in our following of the Lord.
May you welcome us home to the eternal Kingdom where we desire to live with the Father, Son and Spirit,
forever and ever. Amen
