Philip and James the Lesser

Published: April 25, 2022

Sometimes when we think of the Apostles we think Peter, James and John or Thomas the Doubter or indeed Judas!  However there were 12 apostles!  Read about two more – they are commemorated on the same day. They are buried together in the Church of the Twelve Apostles in Rome. They represent to us two aspects of Christian holiness. The first preaches faith, the second works; the one holy aspirations, the other purity of heart.
