St. John’s mind is a Miracle from God. When we read The Book of Revelation, we are all astonished! His memory! How could he remember everything that he was blessed to see?
We read the Book! We are stunned by his recall of Great Visions of the past, present, and future! He remembers what God revealed to him. Then, he obeyed God’s Instruction: “Write down all you see in a book and send it to The Seven Churches. . . .”
In the time of St. John, the process of writing was s-l-o-w! A poor prisoner on Patmos miraculously procured papyrus or parchment. Ink had to be made. A quill pen had to be dipped in the ink. The slow process was repeated, over and over and over and over for every letter of every word of every phrase of every sentence of every chapter.

How did he remember? The Vision had to have been etched in his mind. The Word of God was written inside the mind of St. John by The Word of God.
Almost 10,000 Words were remembered, recalled, and written! Countless numbers, from 1 to “twice ten thousand times ten thousand” (200,000,000!) were shown to him.
He remembered them all!
He remembered the numbers of the gates, foundation layers, and dimensions of The New Jerusalem. He remembered the colors, the sounds, and the nouns and adjectives that described things no man had ever seen!
He was blessed to have memorized fifty pages, each with two hundred words!

God literally “wrote” The Book of Revelation inside the mind of St. John. No human mind could have held, recalled, and written all that specific information without God’s help.

While St. John was remembering and writing, Catholics know what else he was doing!
St. John was obeying the last instruction Jesus gave to anyone on earth: “This is your Mother.”
“and from that moment, the disciple made a place for her in his home”.

Catholics still do that!
To this day, every Catholic in the world does what Jesus told St. John to do! Every Catholic makes “a place for her” in our heart.
