>FEAST OF THE DAY
>
>St. James the Greater and St. John, the sons of thunder, were both
>Apostles and sons of Zebedee. He is called "Greater" because he
>was the first apostle named James to be called by the Lord. It is
>believed that James was born at Bethsaida in Israel. James was a
>fisherman before Jesus called him and was one of the three
>privileged apostles who saw the transfiguration, the raising of the
>daughter of Jarius, and the agony in the garden. James was present
>at most of the miracles that Jesus performed.
>
>He was put to death by Herod Agrippa I around the year 42 and was
>the first of the Twelve to be martyred. James the Greater is not the
>author of the Epistle of James in the New Testament nor was he the
>leader of the Jerusalem community. He is specially honored at
>Compostella in Spain where there is a famous church dedicated to
>his name. James is the patron of pilgrims, Spain, Guatemala, and
>Nicaragua.

>QUOTE OF THE DAY
>
>He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the
>son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their
>father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and
>immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. -Mt
>4:21-22

>The word "vocation" comes from Latin roots meaning "to call." It
>refers to the calling by God to a specific way of life. It is generally
>used to refer to the common call of all persons, from God, to holiness
>and salvation. It is often used in a more specific way to refer
>particular states in life that show a response to the universal calling
>of God. This term is often used to refer to a person being called to
>priesthood, religious life, or married life.
