Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Prayer to Saint Philip, the Apostle
O Glorious Saint Philip,
at the Last Supper
you said to Jesus,
“Lord, show us the Father
and it will be enough for us.”
Help us to make this our prayer
also and to seek God in all things.
Obtain for us the grace to know
the Father and Jesus Christ
whom he has sent – for in this does
eternal life consist.
Amen.

Prayer to Saint James the Lesser, the Apostle
O Glorious Saint James, you were our Lord’s cousin
and at the same time his friend and follower.
You wrote that every good and perfect gift
comes to us from the Father and lights,
and that faith without works is useless.
You preached the divinity of Jesus
until your death as a martyr.
Obtain for us from the Father of lights
the great gift of a living faith
in Jesus’ divinity which will inspire us
to unstinting labor in the service of God
and our fellow human beings and
enable us to reach our heavenly destiny.
Amen.
Jeremiah 32:18-19
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 32:18-19
