O glorious Apostle, Saint James,
who by reason of your fervent and generous heart
was chosen by Jesus to be witness of His glory
on Mount Tabor, and of His agony in Gethsemane;
you, 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.
