St. John the Evangelist was an eminently virginal soul, extraordinarily close to Our Lord, and most devoted to His Sacred Heart.
More than an Apostle, he was a true friend of the God-Man. That is why Our Lord, before dying on the Wood, left to His beloved disciple an inestimable treasure: Mary Most Holy.
To receive Our Lady is to receive all that God can grant to man, after having given Himself. The Virgin Mary was given by the virginal Son to the virginal friend who was St. John. In this consignment we see an extraordinary manifestation of God’s love for virgin souls. And we also see one of the luminous features of the greatness of this Apostle Evangelist.
