Curiously, little is known about Simon and Jude. Indeed, even their names are derived from differing translations from Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, to English. One theory is that they were always away as missionaries. Nonetheless their Christian echo is strong and remains with us to remember them on this day in our Calendar.
Forgiveness is always difficult for, on the one hand it seems easy to use the words 'I forgive' yet the feeling of hurt or anger remains. It behoves us all, me included, to plum the depths in prayer for God to forgive us, so that we might forgive others who have wronged us.
