Saint James the Apostle
Prayer
O glorious Apostle, Saint James, who by reason of thy
fervent and generous heart wast chosen by Jesus to be a witness of His glory on
Mount Tabor, and of His agony in Gethsemane; thou, whose very name is a symbol
of warfare and victory: obtain for us strength and consolation in the unending
warfare of this life, that, having constantly and generously followed Jesus, we
may be victors in the strife and deserve to receive the victor’s crown in
heaven. Amen. [The Raccolta]

O Great Saint James, first Apostle to shed thy blood for Christ: I pray and beseech thee to bring us, pilgrims, unto the heavenly Jerusalem; and I implore thee to grant that I may walk the way to thy shrine at Compostela, there to do thee homage where thy true relics are honored, for the glory of God and in reparation for my sins. Amen.
