The Feast of St James, the apostle
Proclaim
with
me
the
greatness
of the
Lord
James was a fisherman called, with his brother John, to leave their father Zebedee’s boat to become apostles. Nicknamed by Jesus “the sons of thunder,” they, with Peter, formed a kind of inner circle with Jesus. His body is buried at the shrine of Santiago de Compotela which is still a popular pilgrimage site.
See the shell? It’s the symbol of St James.... If you look down at the bottom of our Episcopal shield you will see a scallop shell symbolizing that the first bishop of San DIego, Robert Walterstorff, came from St James, La Jolla.

Friday 3
Psalm 31:24
Be strong and
let
your heart take cour-age,
all
you who wait
for
the Lord.
I really love the passive construction of this - “let your heart take courage.” I don’t have to struggle to BE courageous, God is ready to give me that gift if I LET him... I find that oftentimes letting go and allowing my heart to take courage is a lot harder than holding on to whatever it is that is holding me back because first I have to remember Who's in charge, and it's not me.
Friday
Blessed
be
the
Lord!
for
he
has
shown
me
the wonders of his love in a besieged city. Yet I said in my alarm
“I have been cut off from the sight of your eyes.” Nevertheless, you heard the sound of my entreaty when I cried out to you. Psalm 31:21-22
