Thursday – 16th Week of Ordinary Time B – Feast of Saint James, Apostle
Dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the feast of Saint James the Apostle, we are reminded of the importance of humility, service, and the power of faith. In the Gospel reading today, we see Jesus' encounter with the mother of James and John, who ask him to grant their request to sit at his right and left hand in his kingdom. Jesus responds by saying that this is not for him to give, but is reserved for those prepared by his Father.
