Today we celebrate the Feast of St. John the Apostle who knew Jesus more intimately than anyone (other than his mother). His Gospel is the single source of our knowledge of Christ's pre-existence as the Word of God, his "mission" to bring light to the world and the sacred truth that Jesus is the Bread of Life.
I encourage you to attend Mass as a family today. If you cannot attend Mass, gather together as a family today and pray the following prayer: God our Father, you have revealed the mysteries of your Word through John the apostle. By prayer and reflection may we come to understand the wisdom he taught. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Until tomorrow...a blessed Christmas and God bless.
