GRANT, we beseech thee, O God, that after the example of thy servant James the Just, brother of our Lord, thy Church may give itself continually to prayer and to the reconciliation of all who are at variance and enmity; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

163. As for lies, I hate and abhor them : but thy law do I love.

165. Great is the peace that they have who love thy law : and they are not offended at it.
