> Each year in Santiago de Compostela, a special novena of Masses is prayed on
> the nine days leading up to the solemn feast of St. James, July 25. During
> the novena, the scripture passages that refer to Saint James are read - and
> there are many of them! James was one of the first disciples Jesus called.
> James was with Jesus on the mount of Transfiguration, he was with Jesus when
> the daughter of Jairus was raised from the dead, and he was with Jesus in
> the garden at Gethsemane. This year, we join in that prayer with a special
> feature on the Cathedral website. Each day you'll find a Gospel reading and
> a reflection that shed light on our great patron saint.
> 
> Here is our Novena Prayer, based on a prayer of Pope John Paul II, prayed at
> Santiago de Compostela in 1989.
> 
> St. James! We come to you in eager pilgrimage.
> We come as part of a great throng of pilgrims
> who through the centuries have come to this place,
> where you are pilgrim and host, apostle and patron.
> We come to you today
> because we are on a common journey.
> Place yourself, patron of pilgrims,
> at the head of our pilgrimage.
> Teach us, apostle and friend of the Lord,
> the WAY which leads to him.
> Open us, preacher of the Gospel,
> to the TRUTH you learned from your Master’s lips.
> Give us, witness of the faith,
> the strength always to love the LIFE Christ gives.
> We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
