St. John the Evangelist
Angel visiting John in the Book of Revelations
The love between Christ and St. John has been seen as homoerotic for centuries. The British LGB group Quest begins its meetings with the following prayer.
Almighty Father, your Son, by his holy love
for his disciple John, sanctified man's love for his brother.
We ask you to sanctify our love for one another,
and to bless all members of QUEST wherever they are.
Give us strength by the power of your Holy Spirit,
to live always according to your will:
that our needs my be provided,
our work prospered,
and our prayers answered.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
