Commemorated on November 26
Saint James the Hermit was the disciple of St Maron (February 14). He
lived in asceticism on a mountain not far from the city of Cyrrhus in
Syria. He suffered grievous ills, but he always wore chains, ate food
only in the evening, and prayed constantly. By such efforts he attained
to high spiritual perfection, receiving from the Lord power over demons,
the gift of healing and even of raising the dead. St James peacefully
fell asleep in the Lord.
