Prayer to St. James to be recited today to ask for a grace

O relative of Jesus Christ according to the flesh,
and much more according to the spirit,
Favorite apostle and family of the Lord,
from which you were called among the first and You followed leaving
your relatives, all the goods and hopes of the earth.
For Him, first among the Apostles you gave your life, and with your blood you confirmed
the doctrine of the gospel that you preached.

How many times, O glorious Apostle,
you appeared on the battlefields to Christians,
fighting with them against the enemies of Christ and His Cross!
How many times have you defeated and defeated them,
miraculously giving victory to those who do
already believed defeated!

O strength of the Christians!
O refuge of those who invoke you and hope in You:
save us from our dangers!

The Lord give us, through His intercession,
your holy love and fear, justice, peace and victory
on all our visible and invisible enemies,
and above all grant us to be able to see it eternally
and to possess together with the Angels of Paradise.
Amen.
