It carries two im- portant messages. First, no maer how lile we have, we always have enough to share. Second, Christ can take our humble giſts and do great things with them if we are just willing to let Him. No giſt is too small or insignificant! Prayer to St James, the Apostle O glorious Apostle, St James, who by rea- son of thy fervent and generous heart was chosen by Jesus to be witness of His glory on Mount Tabor, and of His agony in Gethsemane; thou, whose very name is a symbol of warfare and victory: obtain for us strength and consolaon in the unending warfare of this life, that, having constantly and generously fol- lowed Jesus, we may be victors in the strife and de- serve to receive the victor's crown in heaven. Amen.
