San Juan or John, whose name means "God is Gracious," was the son of a fisherman and the brother of Saint James. Traveling everywhere with Christ, Juan became very close to him. Juan became known as the "beloved disciple". He is the only disciple who did not forsake Christ in the hour of his passion. Christ said to him on the cross, "Behold your Mother, John," referring to Mary. Juan took care of Mary after Jesus' death. Juan was the first to reach the tomb upon hearing of the resurrection and the first to recognize the risen Christ. Juan wrote the fourth Gospel, three epistles, and perhaps the Book of Revelation. He outlived all his fellow disciples.
'Oh Holy San Juan, you lay your head upon Christ's breast. You are called 'the beloved one'. Christ said upon the cross, " Behold your mother'. Writer of gospels and epistles, your writing brought benefit to mankind. I humbly ask that my writing be of some benefit too.
