Saint of the Month : St. John of the Gospel
St. John was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was the only apostle to stand faithfully at the cross during our Savior's passion, and Jesus made John the guardian of His Mother, Mary. John went on to write four books in the New Testament: Gospel of John, the three Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation. He is believed to be the longest living apostle and the only not to die a martyr's death. St. John is the patron saint of love, loyalty, friendships, and authors. Clearly we have much to learn from this most beloved disciple. St. John, pray for us!
