SAINT JAMES OF JERUSALEM

"Apostle St James the Less"
Artist: El Greco

Here's today's collect:
Grant, O God, that following the example of your servant James the Just, brother of our Lord, your Church may give itself continually to prayer and to the reconciliation of all who are at variance and enmity; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever.
This apostle is known traditionally as "James the Less" because James, son of Zebedee - also known as James the Greater - was called to the apostolate earlier.
