	O Holy Saint Jacob, you bore your cross so that others might see the light of Christ shining through your unselfish labours. You fulfilled your apostolic mission, infusing languages and cultures with the teachings of the Church and demonstrating obedience and forgiveness through word and deed. We are all your spiritual children, in the same manner that we have all inherited the evangelical works of the Apostle Paul. We ask for your continued guidance on the narrow path that leads to eternal life, that no soul should be lost to outer darkness or worldly discord. May we regard all life as precious and pray for one another, strengthened and inspired by your holy example. Enlighten us, O Father Jacob, and gather us together in the Name of Christ, our only Saviour. Amen.
