The Collect of the Day
O God, we thank you for the glorious company of the apostles, and especially on this day for Simon and Jude; and we pray that, as they were faithful and zealous in their mission, so we may with ardent devotion make known the love and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Psalm
119:89-96
The Readings
Deuteronomy 32:1-4 + Ephesians 2:13-22 + John 15:17-27
So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God. ~Ephesians 2:17-22
Closing Prayer
Defend us, we beseech thee, O Lord, from all perils of mind and body: and at the intercession of the ever blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, mother of God, of thy blessed apostles Simon and Jude, and all saints, graciously bestow upon us both peace and safety: that all adversity and error being done away, thy Church may serve thee in untroubled freedom, through the same, Christ our Lord. Amen.
~from Saint Augustine's Prayer Book
