Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist


Feast


Jean-Jacques Olier wrote in his pietas seminarii : “they will also invoke Saint John the Evangelist as their particular patron.

At the Last Supper he became another Christ, at the Cross he became the adopted son of his Mother. Venerating most of all the grace of the Eucharist in this saint, they will strive, following his example, to seek the same grace that poured forth from the breast of our Lord.”
