July 25, 2024 Feast of Saint James, Apostle
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072524.cfm
Today’s first reading said we will die, but through our faith and God’s grace we will join Jesus in heaven. Amen!
In the gospel, the sons of Zebedee wish to sit at the right and left of Jesus in His kingdom. Jesus said that that is not for Him to give. He said that the apostles shouldn’t look to be served. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. One of the sons is James the greater, who we celebrate today. Martyred and the only recorded death of the apostles in the New Testament. There is a famous pilgrimage to his grave in Spain.
