St. James Reflection
The way the Gospels treat the apostles is a good reminder of
what holiness is all about. There is very little about their virtues
as static possessions, entitling them to heavenly reward. Rather,
the great emphasis is on the Kingdom, on God’s giving them
the power to proclaim the Good News. As far as their personal
lives are concerned, there is much about Jesus’ purifying them of
narrowness, pettiness, fickleness.
Saint James the Apostle’s Story
Feast Day-July 25th
This James is the brother of John the Evangelist. The two were
called by Jesus as they worked with their father in a fishing
boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus had already called another pair
of brothers from a similar occupation: Peter and Andrew. “He
walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee,
and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets.
Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat
along with the hired men and followed him” (Mark 1:19-20).
James was one of the favored three who had the privilege of
witnessing the Transfiguration, the raising to life of the daughter
of Jairus, and the agony in Gethsemani.
Two incidents in the Gospels describe the temperament of this
man and his brother. Saint Matthew tells that their mother came— A special Thank You to Debbie & Russell
Mark says it was the brothers themselves—to ask that they have Mallams and Crew for the clean-up of the

not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am
going to drink?’ They said to him, ‘We can’” (Matthew 20:22). GREAT JOB!
Jesus then told them they would indeed drink the cup and share
his baptism of pain and death, but that sitting at his right hand
or left was not his to give—it “is for those for whom it has been
prepared by my Father” (Matthew 20:23b). It remained to be
seen how long it would take to realize the implications of their
confident “We can!”
The other disciples became indignant at the ambition of James
and John. Then Jesus taught them all the lesson of humble service:
The purpose of authority is to serve. They are not to impose their
will on others, or lord it over them. This is the position of Jesus Retrouvaille of Montana, in conjunction with Retrouvaille
himself. He was the servant of all; the service imposed on him
