Today’s Gospel

At this time, Jesus went out into the hills to pray, spending the whole night in prayer with God. When day came, he called his disciples to him, and chose Twelve of them, whom he called ‘apostles’: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alpheus and Simon called the Zealot; Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who would be the traitor.

Today’s Reflection

On the feast of Saints Simon and Jude, the apostles, Jesus shows the significant principles of discipleship and calling. Before calling the twelve, Jesus went up to the mountain and prayed. It signifies that the calling is about discernment and relationship with God. And like the two apostles, discipleship is about faithfulness and commitment to follow Christ without hesitation and compromise.
