Merciful Lord, we beseech thee to cast thy bright beams of light upon thy Church, that we, being illumined by the teaching of thine apostle and evangelist John, may so walk in the light of thy truth, that we may at length attain to the fullness of life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
On the feast of St John, it is wonderful to read his letters again. “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are” (1 Jn 3:1). Fresco of the apostle in the church of San Gimignano.https://t.co/1jNjUl5Kip
