Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist

“What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life — for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us— what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.” -1 John 1:1-4

Anyone who has participated in the Mass and received our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist could have just as easily written this passage. We have looked upon and touched Him with our hands. My friends, it is up to us to proclaim the fellowship we share with the Father and the Son and rejoice in this miracle.

Merry Christmas!

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.
