James the Apostle (26 Jul 2027)
宣召經句(St James the Apostle should be on 25 July. As it coincides with the the Lord's Day, it can be transferred to 26 July.) I chose you and appointed you, says the Lord; that you should go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. (John 15:16)
祝文
O gracious God, we remember before you today your servant and apostle James, first among the Twelve to suffer martyrdom for the Name of Jesus Christ; and we pray that you will pour out upon the leaders of your Church that spirit of self-denying service by which alone they may have true authority among your people; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
