DESCRIPTION:The two apostles commemorated on this day are among those about
  whom little is known\, except for their mention in the Gospels. James the
  Less is so called to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee and fr
 om James “the brother of the Lord\,” or perhaps to indicate youth or l
 ack of stature. He is known to us from the list of the Twelve\, where he i
 s called James the son of Alpheus. He may also be the person referred to i
 n Mark’s Gospel as James the younger\, who\, with his mother Mary and th
 e other women\, watched the crucifixion from a distance. Philip figures in
  several important incidents in Jesus’ ministry as reported in John’s 
 Gospel. There we read that Jesus called Philip soon after calling Andrew a
 nd Peter. Philip\, in turn\, found his friend Nathanael\, and convinced hi
 m to come and see Jesus\, the Messiah. Later\, when Jesus saw the hungry c
 rowd\, he asked Philip\, “How are we to buy bread\, so that these people
  may eat?” (John 6:5). Philip’s practical response\, “Two hundred de
 narii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little” (John
  6:7)\, was the prelude to the feeding of the multitude with the loaves an
 d fishes. In a later incident in John’s Gospel\, some Greeks came to Phi
 lip asking to see Jesus. At the Last Supper\, Philip’s request\, “Lord
 \, show us the Father\, and we shall be satisfied\,” evokes the response
 \, “Have I been with you so long\, and yet you do not know me\, Philip? 
 He who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:8\, 9).
