The good news
In celebrating Saint Mark, we acknowledge thanks to God who uses men and women to communicate his mysteries and his divine life to humanity.
Jesus lends his pen to Saint Mark so that he can write down the revelations of the Good News. He is the Son of God who came to teach us how to live and save us from sin and death.
At the end of Mark's Gospel, Jesus commands us to go into the world and spread this Good News throughout creation. Mark himself, the evangelist is a perfect example. Through his travels with Saint Paul and later with Peter and in particular through the written word of his Gospel, Mark himself was an authentic witness to the gospel.
Happy Feast of St Mark!
