Tomb of St. Philip and St. James the Minor<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Philip, like Sts. Peter and Andrew, was of Bethesda in Galilee. \u00a0He died at Hierapolis in Phrygia on the cross, like them. \u00a0It is he whom Jesus addresses at the multiplication of the loaves, and it is through him as intermediary that the Gentiles seek to address the Savior. \u00a0To him also we owe what the Master said in His discourse at the Last Supper: \u00a0“Philip, who sees Me, sees My Father”.<\/em> \u00a0To go to Christ is to go to God, for the works of the Messiah have proved His Divinity. \u00a0It is in virtue of His Divine nature that He rose again, and the two apostles whose Feast coincides with the Easter Feasts, by their martyrdom, confirm the truth of which they have been witnesses.<\/p>\n

St. James, called the Minor, was of Cana in Galilee. \u00a0A cousin of our Lord, he had for brother the apostle Jude, and was made, by Peter, bishop of Jerusalem. \u00a0It is of him that St. Paul speaks when he says: \u00a0“I did not see any apostle except James the brother of the Lord.”<\/em> \u00a0Called upon by the High Priest to deny Jesus, he was thrown down from the terrace of the Temple and his head was broken by the blow of a club.<\/p>\n

Following the example of the Holy Apostles Philip and James, let us confess by a generous life the Divinity of the Risen Christ.<\/p>\n
