Evening Prayer for the last time this week with Jim – as he gently considers the lives of some of Christ’s apostles. Today is the saint’s day for Jim’s namesake, James, and also for Philip. Jim prays that we follow the paths taken by Philip and James and that we walk steadfastly in the way that leads to God’s glory. Jim asks whether we would deny Christ like St. Peter did when frightened, and that there are times when sin has its hold over the best of Christ’s followers, like a barrier between us that will not move and he prays that we turn to Christ when theses barriers overwhelm us.
