I like to call him a journalist of the Gospel. He is Saint Mark, the Evangelist. Mark wrote the first Gospel. The shortest of all the four Gospels. His Gospel is adapted for those who want to know who Jesus is. The Cathecument usually needs to read this Gospel.
For me, this Gospel not only very short but also very easy to read. When I studied Italian and English, I read this Gospel first. Mark wrote all he has seen and has done. Even I call him as a journalist of the Gospel, he is not like the journalist as we understand. If we read the Gospel, we realized that this is not a book of history. The gospel has a message of faith in his audience.
On this feast of St Mark, let us remember what Jesus said to the apostles. First of all, Jesus gives them strong faith so that they can combat evil. With this God’s power, the apostles can heal the sick people. For this, they need to be a messenger of hope and to be a good communicator.
We give thanks to Jesus who sent us the evangelist, St Mark. Through him, we know our Lord Jesus Christ. We pray for those who want to know Jesus. May St Mark prays for them so that they know who Jesus is. Have a nice day.
