The Life of St. John the Evangelist
John was a young fisherman who left his nets with his brother James. Jesus nicknamed the brothers "Sons of Thunder" for their fiery spirit. John became the beloved disciple, leaned on Jesus at the Last Supper, and was the only Apostle at the foot of the Cross, where Jesus gave him Mary as his mother.
He wrote a Gospel, three letters and the Book of Revelation, and gave us the line "God is love." Tradition says that as an old man he would simply tell his community, "Little children, love one another."
