December. 1662 Book of Common Prayer. St. John the Apostle and Evangelist.
Once again, we adjusted the Eskimoe somewhat.
St. John the Evangelist. -- St. John stands in marked
contrast with Stephen,
chosen to follow Christ first in death; John had to wait; when the other the Apostles had entered glory
and rest from their earthly labors and vocations, John died. Probably, he was buried in Ephesus, have
faithfully served His Sovereign Redeemer.
John—Apostle, Evangelist, Missionary,
Author, Pillar of the Church.
ERCIFUL
Lord, we beseech thee to cast thy bright beams of light upon thy Church, that
it being enlightened by the doctrine of thy blessed Apostle and Evangelist
Saint John may so walk in the light of thy truth, that it may at length attain
to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
