O God and giver of all good gifts, you sent your Apostle James to prepare the earth’s soil to receive the good seed who is your Word made flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the works of evangelization, prepare all hearts to welcome with joy the Word of life, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen
