St. John, the other apostle
1 Jn 1: 1-4; Jn 20: 1 a, 2-8
John is literally a great gift of God to us, as the name itself suggests. John refers to himself in the Gospel as the Other Disciple and that specificity gives us a guarantee of the great tradition that is behind that name and that experience.
John stands for a loving personal relationship with the Lord. That is what we are challenged towards in our daily concrete life. Can we say an whole hearted yes to that call?
