One of the first followers to join JesusSantiago is believed to have been the eldest son of a relatively wealthy but uneducated fisherman. Legend suggests that had a fiery temperament and direct nature and impulsive, possibly leading to his execution by sword ordered by King Herrod, around 44 CE. He is the only apostle whose martyrdom is recorded in the New Testament
Prayer to open difficult paths, oriented to Saint James the Apostle
We have all found ourselves in complicated situations and we have needed new paths that we have not been able to open. Here we give you one orration to open difficult paths in life to St. James the Apostle:
Mr Santiago,
great apostle of Jesus Christ,
That, by your trust in Him,
from humble fisherman you managed to be
one of the Twelve favorites
to walk in his Paths to the Lord.
You dazzled with singular energy,
strength and firmness teaching his Gospel,
still having to pay the price
of your own life.
I beg you to give me your help
and consolation when trials overwhelm me.
And misfortune and helplessness
overwhelm and afflict me.
In your hands I place all my life,
my trust, my hope
and my whole being,
Never forget me,
never leave me
and pray for me to the Lord.
James the Elder,
powerful advocate and guardian
Guardian and benefactor of men,
Father of infinite saints and victims,
terror of demons,
fear of our enemies.
To whom do we owe, after God,
the faith we profess
to your help,
defense and protection welcome me.
I modestly thank you
for being compassionate with us
And I implore you to reach me
of almighty god
The Beatitudes of Heaven
as well as your favours.
For the virtues that the Lord
affectionately bestowed upon you,
average so that they are separated from my side
envious people,
bad and harmful.
With all my faith
In your effective protection, I request you:
What if they fight treachery
enemies against me,
With your skillful arm you protect me from evil.
In you holy beloved I trust,
because you never let us suffer,
Today I ask you to be by my side
and be my mediator on high.
And because of the kinship that unites you to Jesus,
why you loved him.
Please,
send him this request
that with humility I do:
(Say the problem
and what you want to achieve).
I implore you to open the ways
of happiness and abundance to my life,
Only you know how much I need it.
We adore you,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Amen.
