Fr Francis Selman: "St John was the youngest of the Apostles, 'the beloved disciple', the one whom Jesus loved and the only one of the 12 who remained with his Master all the way to the foot of the Cross. He was the last to write a Gospel and the last of the apostles to die as an old man, still the Bishop of Ephesus, around the year 100. With the wiritings of the last of the apostles, revelation came to a close. We keep his feast day just 2 days after the birth of our Saviour, when we think of the great mystery of the Incarnation, for St John was especially the Evangelist of the Incarnation. He wrote the phrase 'And the Word was made flesh', perhaps the most important sentence ever to have been written in history. I like to think that the reason why St John had a special insight into the mystery of the Incarnation was because he was the disciple to whom Jesus entrusted his mother at the foot of the Cross, "Behold your mother." Thus teaching us all to look to Mary as our mother and the mother of the Church." Visit Totus2us.com for lots more. Totus Tuus (All Yours) was Pope John Paul II's motto to Mary.
