Five years ago I was standing in the very spot where I had suffered a serious accident, just on the edge of my garden when I felt a kind of epiphany inspiring me to go and read the Gospel of Mark. So I found several local churches where I went to read it, and I realized why I had wanted to offer this amazing work of mighty words. The thrill of sharing the beginnings of the Gospel of Jesus as he arose from the baptism of John and onward through the miracles and parables which challenged my brain and touched my heart. The fact that it is perhaps the first of the Gospels, and therefore even more immediate regarding the life of Christ makes it even more marvellous to me. Someday I will learn it word for word, but on this occasion I appreciate the opportunity to offer St. Mark’s Gospel as a heartfelt reading of his Holy Scripture.
• A gospel is defined as a book that
describes the life and death of Jesus.
• T hough Mark’s gospel comes
second in the New Testament – after Matthew – chronologically it’s the first of all four to have been written.
• M ark’s feast day is April 25.
His symbol is a winged lion.
