Today within the Church we honor the Feast Day of Simon and Jude, Apostles and martyrs in Christ.

While recent events have spawned a revival of sorts among the faithful, I’m not totally convinced that it will last. I pray that it does. There seems to be a strong movement to return to our faith, I just don’t know how many have actually undergone a true conversion.

Growing up, was it a roast chicken or a roast beef that was the traditional “roast” supper in your home? In our house, it all depended upon how many people were at the table. Chicken for smaller gatherings, a big roast beef when the house was overflowing with people.
