The beloved

Among the apostles, John have been distinguished as the beloved, meaning that, between the others disciples, he has a special predilection. He was called together with his brother James and the lake of Galilea, they were named the son of thunder by his zeal.

In all the paintings John is represented with an eagle, because he flew so high in the knowledge of God.

He was so loved for our Lord, that Jesus left in his charge the thing that he loves most in the earth, his Mother. Thanks to him we know that the testament of Jesus was to give Mary as our Mother, at the beginning of the Gospel Jesus teach us that God is our Father, and at the end of his life that Mary is our mother.

Saint John preserves this tradition, Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, was disciple of Saint Polycarp, and Polycarp of John, from this teaching we hear how Mary is the new Eve.

So, this disciple has to extraordinary gifts, he heard the heart of Jesus al the last supper and was in charge of his mother.

So, for his life we how the purity is to keep the love of Jesus, and how Jesus’ reward those how keep it. Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.

What other things we can learn for the Gospel of today, well the gospel of this day is about the narrative of the resurrection.

Firs thing, is in the first day of the week, the new creation starts with the first day that is way celebrate the Sunday.

Second even John is so blessed and loved, respect the authority of Peter, he run fast, but let Peter go in first.

Last thing, they saw the tomb empty, his physical presence has been taken away, and since 2000 years ago, his tomb is empty; the grotto and the manger is empty, Jesus is no there, is in the tabernacle, do not look for Jesus in and empty tomb, far from your home, is close to you in the tabernacle.

When the Father of blessed Carlos Acuti, ask him, if he wants to visit Jerusalem, he said no, no because, I wish the people feel the same desire to visit Jesus present in the Church.

Yes the tomb is empty, Jesus is no there, is here in the closes tabernacle, waiting for you.
