Saints’ Days and Holy Days — St. James (July 25) (2)
Richard D. AclandAlmighty God, who by the hand of the persecutor didst bestow upon the Apostle James a martyr’s diadem of glory: Grant us grace to put away all vain desire of homage and dominion among men, and after the example of thy Son seek to be chief only in sacrificial ministry to others; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
