Yesterday on the Eve of the Feast of St James the Apostle: reports of the terrible train derailment near Santiago de Compostela here and here
We ask the prayers of St James for those killed and injured
O glorious Apostle, St. James,
who by reason of thy fervent and generous heart
wast chosen by Jesus to be a witness of His glory on Mount Tabor,
and of His agony in Gethsemane; thou, whose very name is a symbol
of warfare and victory: obtain for us strength and consolation
in the unending warfare of this life, that,
having constantly and generously followed Jesus,
we may be victors in the strife
and deserve to receive the victor's crown in heaven.
