This is what is proclaimed

 

“This is what we proclaim to you: 

what was from the beginning, what we have heard,what we have seen with

our eyes, what we have looked upon

and our hands have touched –

we speak of the word of life.” - I John 1:1

John the Apostle; Artist: Guido Reni

 It is a long way from being eager to sit on a throne of power

or to call down fire from heaven to becoming the man who could write:

“The way we came to know love was that He laid down His life for us;

so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers” (1 John 3:16).

   "Through John we know how we are to participate

as our destiny in the life of Christ."~ St Teresa Benedicta - Edith Stein

Ste John, ora pro nobis!
