Prayer to Saint James the Lesser
O Glorious Saint James, you were
our Lord's cousin and at the same
time his friend and follower.
You wrote that every good and
perfect gift comes to us from the
Father and lights, and that faith
without works is useless.
You preached the divinity of Jesus
until your death as a martyr.
Obtain for us from the Father
of lights the great gift of a living
faith in Jesus' divinity which will
inspire us to unstinting labor in the
service of God and our fellow
human beings and enable
us to reach our heavenly destiny.
Amen.
