The Story and History of Saint James The story and history of Saint James. Among the twelve, three were chosen as the familiar companions of our blessed Lord, and of these James was one. He alone, with Peter and John, was admitted to the house of Jairus when the dead maiden was raised to life. They alone were taken up to the high mountain apart, and saw the face of Jesus shining as the sun, and His garments white as snow; and these three alone witnessed the fearful agony in Gethsemane. What was it that won James a place among the favorite three? Faith, burning, impetuous, and outspoken, but which needed purifying before the "Son of Thun- der" could proclaim the gospel of peace. It was James who demanded fire from heaven to consume the inhospitable Samaritans, and who sought the place of honor by Christ in His Kingdom. Yet Our Lord, in rebuking his presumption, prophesied his faithfulness to death. When St. James was brought before King Herod Agrippa, his fearless confession of Jesus crucified so moved the public prosecutor that he declared himself a Christian on the spot. Accused and accuser were hurried off together to execution, and on the road the latter begged pardon of the Saint. The apostle had long since forgiven him, but hesitated for a moment whether publicly to accept as a brother one still unbaptized. God quickly recalled to him the Church's faith, that the blood of martyrdom supplies for every sacrament, and, falling on his companion's neck, he embraced him, with the words, "Peace be with thee!" Together then they knelt for the sword, and together received the crown. Questions for the Road or Way Home “The kingdom of heaven may be lik- ened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While all were asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat.” -- Matthew 12:25 Jesus taught us to pray, “your kingdom come your will be done on earth as in heaven.” God’s reign exists on earth although not yet fulfilled. The reign of God is furthered when anyone acts with justice. We either nurture its growth or im- pede its progress. • Reflect on how you are an image of the final reign of God. • Where do you see glimpses of God’s reign in our world? A Little Story submitted by a friend WHERE DO YOU FIT IN HERE? This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Every- body’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done! 7th Annual Esto Vir (Be A Man) Vocations Camp for Guys 16+ This diocesan vocation camp will August 8- 10 (noon - noon) at Sandhill Lake Bible Camp, Fosston MN --- A chance for Catholic guys to hang out.
