By Father Raymond J. de Souza, EWTN News - The Gospel for Tuesday of Holy Week brings to the fore some of the key players of the Passion – Judas, who betrays Jesus; Peter, who first defends, but then denies Jesus; and John, who stands with the Blessed Virgin Mary at the foot of the Cross... The Apostle John refers to himself as the “beloved disciple.” It is mark of modesty – he does not use his own name – and also a profession of his identity. He is loved with a special love.
