Day 1
July 25th.
-
O glorious St. James, who, for your purity and zeal, merited to be raised by Jesus Christ, not only to the rank of an Apostle, but to be admitted with St. Peter and St. John to the same privileges of His intimate confidence, and to be spectators of His transfiguration on Tabor, and of His bloody sweat in the garden: obtain for us all the grace to be chaste, humble, and fervent, that we may merit from heaven the choicest gifts. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. James, who announced the Gospel of salvation to the people of Spain, instilling into all hearts the most profound veneration for the holy Virgin Mary, and the most lively confidence in her patronage: obtain for us all the grace to apply ourselves in the best possible manner to the sanctification of our brethren, and always to profess a sincere and fervent devotion to our common Mother Mary, who is the help of all Christians, and the Arbitress of all graces. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. James, who, after having sustained for the love of Jesus Christ the greatest labours, and faced the greatest dangers, had the honour to be the first of the Apostles, who signed your faith in your blood: obtain for us grace to bear tranquilly all the sufferings and labours of this earth, and to recompense with benefits all the evil which we may receive from our brethren, that after having lived, like you, with a continual bridle upon our unruly passions, we may merit to be, one day, your companions in heaven. Gloria.
