Prayer to St. James the Greater
O glorious Apostle, Saint James the Greater, chosen by our Lord Jesus Christ to be among His first disciples, you were honored to witness His glory on Mount Tabor and to share in His anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Through your fervent faith and steadfast courage, you showed unwavering devotion to the path of Christ, even unto martyrdom.
As our patron saint, you are a protector of pharmacists, laborers, and all those who endure the trials of arthritis and physical pain. We turn to you now, asking for your powerful intercession.
Grant us the strength to persevere in the unceasing challenges of this life, so that we, like you, may follow Jesus with a willing heart and a steadfast spirit.
Saint James, your name stands as a symbol of warrior-like faith and victorious endurance. Obtain for us the courage to carry our own crosses, to remain constant and generous in faith, and to find consolation in the love of Christ, even in the face of suffering.
Help us to stay strong in life’s struggles, that we, too, may one day receive the victor’s crown in the eternal glory of heaven. Amen.
