Episode Details

St. John, the Evangelist's gospel ending is the focus of today's mass. He tells us two things. First, St. Peter, after having been told about how he would die, wondered what would happen to St. John. Jesus teaches us also about focusing ourselves in fulfilling God's Will for us personally, instead of making the call of others a factor in how we respond to our calling. Second, St. John assures us that the written Word of God is limited. That means that there are other details of Divine Revelation that are preserved elsewhere in Sacred Tradition, which is the unwritten Word of God.
