I have decided to begin sharing select meditations that I have written (and am writing) on the Gospel of John. I already shared one on Jesus’ words, “What do you desire?” but now I want to take a step back and start from the beginning. First, I want to look at the “heartbeat” of the Gospel by reflecting on the experience of its author, John the Evangelist, who calls himself “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”

Joshua
I know that your heart yearns, little one, to create something beautiful, a testament of love, a reflection, in the dimness of this world, of the radiant beauty of my own eternal light. I know the longing within to give birth without, the desire to create, sharing in eternal creativity. I want you to know, beloved, and to feel that the greatest masterpiece which I desire for you is the unspeakable beauty which is you yourself. You, the one whom I infinitely love, are the icon, transparent to my shining glory, enfolded in my grace, a blaze of fiery light bursting through the eyes, a figure whose countenance, whose heart, whose life is a reflection of the life, the heart, the face which is my own.
