Prayers for Blessed James’ Intercession
Let us pray …
O faithful Shepherd, Blessed Brother James Miller, FSC,
as a Christian Brother and Lasallian missionary,
you tilled the soil with your hands
and invited Jesus Christ to till the soil of your soul.
You became a sign of the love of Christ,
the Good Shepherd for your students
and blessed their lives by your ministry.
You stood firm and did not run from danger,
bringing glory to God, His Church,
your Lasallian family, and your martyrdom.
Blessed Brother James,
obtain from the heart of Jesus (make your request here),
and pray for me, that I too may be a sign of Christ’s love.
Teach me to faithfully till the soil of this life
in this reality given to me by our Father,
unafraid to stay with those God has given me,
no matter the cost.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O Blessed Brother James Miller, you heard God’s call to become a Brother of the Christian Schools and so became a sign of faith to youth in the United States and in Central America.
You placed your life and your trust in Divine Providence and, for spreading the faith, merited the crown of martyrdom.
In a world that denies the dignity of the human person, obtain for us from Divine Providence an ever increasing love of God and our neighbor, especially the poor and oppressed.
Obtain for us also the favor we are now asking for (mention request) and the grace and strength to be a witness to Christ’s love to all. Amen.
