happy feast day of Santiago!

[Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda]

"Walking by the sea of Galilee, Jesus saw James (Santiago) and John, the
sons of Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them to follow
him" -- matthew 4: 18,21

Almighty Father,
by the martyrdom of Saint James
you blessed the work of the early Church.
May his profession of faith give us courage
and his prayers bring us strength.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(from opening prayer of today's mass)

happy feast day to my fellow pilgrims!
may Santiago bless your pilgrimage today, wherever you are, and may
graces be abundant in your work--and your weekend!
