O Lord God, we seek your help not to aspire for the temporary worldly powers and positions like James the disciple of your Son Jesus Christ, but grant us grace and wisdom so that we may seek and aspire for eternal heavenly riches and glory by laying down our lives for yoursake like James, the Apostle of your Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
