Ss. Simon and Jude

Apostles (II Class)
The holy Apostles Simon, a Cananean, called Zelotes (the Zealot) and Jude Thaddeus, a brother of St. James the Less, a cousin to Jesus, called Lebbeus (the Courageous), preached the Gospel, the first in Egypt, the second in Mesopotamia. They both suffered martyrdom in Persia in the first century. St. Jude wrote a short Epistle in which he exhorts the faithful to beware of heretics.

Tuesday was a looooooooong day. We began with Mass at 7:30, and then ate breakfast, packed our things, and got on the bus. We began driving at 9:30 and arrived at Gaming the next morning at 2:15, almost 17 hours later. The highlight of the day was definately the quick bathroom stop we made around 6:30 in Germany. There was a Burger King! Did that ever taste good after subsisting mostly on snack foods all day.
