Though a Christian from his youth, James renounced Christ because he was allured by the King's friendship and flatteries. When his mother and his wife learned of this, they declared to him by letter that they would have nothing more to do with him, since he had preferred a glory that is temporal to the love of Christ. Wounded in soul by these words and coming to himself, the Saint wept over his error, and repudiated the worship of the idols. Therefore, becoming exceedingly wroth, the King — this was Bahram (or Varahran) V (reigned 421-438), Isdiger's son and successor — condemned him to a most bitter death, the likes of which not even a brute beast was ever condemned to: that is, his body was dismembered at every joint of his arms and legs. And so, when he had been cut asunder limb by limb to his very hips and shoulders, the courageous Martyr was finally beheaded, in the year 421." (Great Horologion) Full Article

At the call of the Lord Jesus, he left his fishing nets and his father and, together with John, immediately followed Christ. He was one of the three apostles to whom the Lord revealed the greatest mysteries: before whom He was transfigured on Tabor and before whom He was in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion. After receiving the Holy Spirit, he preached the Gospel in various places, going as far as Spain. On his return from Spain, a violent quarrel broke out between the Jews and himself on the Holy Scriptures, and, being unable to withstand him, they hired a magician, Hermogenes. But Hermogenes and Philip his pupil were overcome by the power and truth that James preached, and were baptised. Then the Jews denounced him to Herod, and persuaded one Josias to slander the Apostle. This Josias, seeing James's manly bearing and hearing his clear preaching of the truth, repented and came to faith in Christ. When James was condemned to death, this Josias was also condemned. Mounting the scaffold, Josias begged James's forgiveness for the sin of slander, and James embraced him, kissing him and saying: 'peace be to thee, and forgiveness.' And they both laid their heads under the sword and were beheaded for the sake of the Lord whom they had loved and served. St James suffered in Jerusalem in the year 45. His body was taken to Spain, where to this day miracles of healing are performed at his tomb." (Prologue) His relics are venerated at his shrine in Compostela, Spain. Full Article
jam Holy Apostle James, the Brother of the Lord and First Bishop of Jerusalem (63) By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2020-07-11T23:08:23+00:00 His Hebrew name is Jacob. He was a close kinsman of Christ, and was therefore called, according to the Jewish usage of the time, his "brother." Some accounts say that he was a child of Joseph by his first marriage; others accounts say that he was the son of Joseph's brother Cleopas and his wife Mary, who was first cousin of the Theotokos. He took the Nazirite vows of one completely consecrated to God according to the Law, and from a young age he was called "the Just" by his people. He is called James the Lesser in Scripture (Mark 15:40) to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee, who is called the Greater. The Apostles appointed him first Bishop of Jerusalem. It was he who presided at the earliest Council of the Church in Jerusalem, where he resolved the problem of how gentile converts should be received into the Church (see Acts 15). He wrote the New Testament Epistle, addressed primarily to Jewish converts to the Faith, that bears his name. About the year 62, he ascended to the peak of the Temple in Jerusalem on Passover, and there bore witness to Christ so effectively that the people cried out "Hosanna to the Son of David." At this, the Scribes and Pharisees, fearing that all the people would be converted to Christ, cast him down to the ground. By God's grace, he survived long enough to rise, kneel and pray, like his Master, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." He was then clubbed to death by one of the scribes.

jam Cela "a détruit ma vie": Ghislaine Maxwell aurait aimé "ne jamais rencontrer Epstein" By www.rtl.be Published On :: Mon, 23 Jan 2023 21:32:07 +0100 Ghislaine Maxwell, condamnée en juin à vingt ans de prison pour trafic sexuel de mineures, a affirmé dans une interview diffusée lundi qu'elle aurait aimé "ne jamais avoir rencontré" Jeffrey Epstein, dont elle se dit convaincue "qu'il a été assassiné".L'ex-mondaine britannique a été condamnée en juin à New York pour trafic sexuel de mineures pour le compte du financier américain décédé, accusé d'exploitation sexuelle de dizaines de mineures. "J'aimerais honnêtement ne l'avoir jamais rencontré", a-t-elle affirmé à propos de son ancien compagnon, dans l'entretien accordé depuis sa prison aux Etats-Unis à la chaîne britannique TalkTV. "Clairement (...) le fait que je travaille avec lui et que je passe du temps avec lui et que je le connaisse a détruit ma vie et blessé énormément de gens qui me sont chers et que j'aime", a-t-elle affirmé. Elle a souligné qu'elle ne "savait pas" qu'Epstein était "aussi horrible" même si "évidemment maintenant, quand on regarde en arrière, bien sûr que oui".Le financier américain, accusé d'avoir, entre 2002 et 2005 au moins, fait venir des mineures dans ses résidences "pour se livrer à des actes sexuels avec lui", a été retrouvé pendu dans sa cellule le 10 août 2019. Si l'autopsie confirme un suicide par pendaison, Mme Maxwell se dit elle convaincue "qu'il a été assassiné".Déjà dimanche, des extraits de l'interview avaient été publiés et Mme Maxwell y prenait la défense du prince Andrew, affirmant qu'une photo montrant le frère du roi Charles III avec une jeune fille qui l'a ensuite accusé d'agressions sexuelles était "un faux". L'Américaine Virginia Giuffre, aujourd'hui âgée de 39 ans, accuse le prince de l'avoir agressée sexuellement à trois reprises en 2001, quand elle avait 17 ans. Elle a affirmé l'avoir rencontré par l'entremise d'Epstein.Andrew, ami de Ghislaine Maxwell et Jeffrey Epstein, a scellé avec elle en février 2022 un accord à l'amiable, en payant des millions de dollars, ce qui lui a permis d'éviter un procès au civil à New York, qui aurait été extrêmement embarrassant pour la famille royale britannique.Le prince de 62 ans, tombé en disgrâce après ces accusations, a toutefois toujours contesté les accusations. Selon des journaux britanniques, il étudie désormais les options légales pour tenter d'annuler l'accord avec Virginia Giuffre. Full Article
