Another day, another magnificent saint for us to model our behavior after. This is one of the great things about the liturgical calendar during the Octave of Christmas. Yesterday, the Church commemorated the Holy Innocents. For today, we have another martyr, of the type that needs not much of an introduction. You know the type, or do you?

For All the Saints: John, Apostle and Evangelist UPDATED

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 11:08 am By Frank Weathers

Today is the feast day of St. John, the “disciple whom Jesus loved.” Jesus called him and his brother James the “sons of thunder,” so they must have been quite a lively pair.
