Saint Simon of Cyrene
The Cross-bearer
Commemorated on May 12



wpe3C.jpg (19963 bytes)Although mentioned only briefly in the Gospels (Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21-22; Luke 23:26) we remember Saint Simon and how he was compelled by the Romans to carry the Cross for Jesus as He travelled to His life-giving Passion on Golgotha for our salvation. Saint Simon, by his obedience to the Romans' command, exemplifies the obedience that we are called to by Christ when He says, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (Mark 8:34)

Also mentioned are Saint Simon's sons Alexander and Rufus, who were prominent in the early Christian community, and his wife who was metioned by Saint Paul in Romans 16:13.
