Celebrating the Festival of St John – E2. The Task of St Johns' Tide - PDF download

Inspiration and spiritual focus for St John's Tide

St John is a unique person in Christian history. John the Baptist prepared the way for the Christ Spirit to enter into Jesus. He prepared the hearts of the people so they could perceive and receive the Christ. John the Beloved was the disciple that Jesus loved, who lay on his breast on the night before he died, and who took the Mother of Jesus to his own home after Jesus was crucified.

“John”, then, is the name of the human being most significantly and intimately involved with Jesus Christ. For that reason, the person and writings of John are very precious to all who love Christ and who long to know and express his spirit in their day to day lives.

The festival of St John is celebrated on June 26th, around the time of the solstice or ‘turning point’. St John’s Tide is not popularly celebrated. This address, given by the Reverend Mario Schoenmaker and one of four offered by Centre Books, was recorded live during a service held to mark the feast day of St John. It informs us about the right way of celebrating this festival today, the inner orientation required, and it sets before us the greatness of our human beingness as foreshadowed by St John.
