      SYNOPSIS:On this feast day of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian, we discuss a little of the Gospel for his day, specifically the significance of the command of Jesus to take care of His mother. Stuff like this happens all the time to us. Love is simple in practice. We also discuss his confident claim that regarding his Gospel: "We know that his testimony is true". Very few people know something is true. How do we gain this knowledge? His first epistle explains. It is love. We do a leisurely exegesis of the Epistle reading for his day, with plenty of stories - from the Desert Fathers, the life of the apostle, and even a few from the reflections of Fr Moses Berry, from his talks in the 21st annual St Moses the Black Conference.
