Gospel, Saint, today's prayer 28 October

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 6,12-16.
In those days, Jesus went to the mountain to pray and spent the night in prayer.
When it was day, he called his disciples to himself and chose twelve, to whom he gave the name of apostles:
Simone, who also called Pietro, Andrea his brother, Giacomo, Giovanni, Filippo, Bartolomeo,
Matteo, Tommaso, Giacomo d'Alfeo, Simone nicknamed Zelota,
Judas of James and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

Saint of today - Saints Simon and Judas Apostles
O glorious St. Jude Thaddeus, the name of the traitor who placed his adorable Master in the hands of his enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors you and invokes you as a lawyer for difficult things and desperate cases.

Pray for me, so miserable; make use, please, of that privilege which the Lord granted you: to bring quick and visible help in those cases in which there is almost no hope. Grant that in this great need I may receive, through your mediation, the relief and consolation of the Lord and may also in all my pains praise God.

Ejaculatory of the day

St. Michael the Archangel, protector of the Kingdom of Christ on earth, protect us.
