Dec 27 - “St. John the Evangelist” © artwork by Louis Glanzman. Happy Feast Day St. John!

Our Lord gave to John a name which means son of thunder, and of all the twelve apostles there was none whom He so deeply and warmly loved. It was a love of the Man in Christ for the man John. And it was shown in many ways. Peter, James, and he were the only ones Our Lord admitted to the room where he raised from death the daughter of Jairus. They alone were present at the Transfiguration and at the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.

At the Last supper it was John who sat next to Our Lord and who rested his head on His breast. He was the only one of the Apostles present at the Crucifixion, and it was to he that Our Lord entrusted the love and protection of His greatest treasure, His mother.

His feast day is December 27.
