First Century
Saint Jude, First Century
October 28
Most of the Epistles in the Bible were written by Saint Paul, but one was written by Saint Jude. He calls himself a “slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.” We know that his brother was a relative of Jesus, maybe a cousin, so Saint Jude was one of Jesus’ cousins, too. In his letter, he tells us to be careful of people who lie. He also reminds us that the Church is a community of people. But most of all, he wants us to do whatever Jesus wants, just like a slave would do for a master.
Discuss: How do you do what Jesus would want?
