๐ผ Saint of the Day ๐ผ
Saint Mark, apostle and evangelist
Feast Day: April 25
The Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Mark, Apostle and Evangelist, on April 25.
He was one of the four writers of the Gospels, who provide us with a clear account of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. We know St. Mark, therefore, mostly through his authorship of the second Gospelยญยญโโthe Gospel according to St. Mark. From elsewhere in Scripture, he is also known to have accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their journeys. And from Tradition, he is known to have been the secretary of St. Peter and the founder of the Church in Alexandria, Egypt.
St. Mark fulfilled in his life what every Christian is called to do: proclaim to all people the Good News that is the source of salvation. In particular, Markโs way was by writing. Others may proclaim the Good News by music, drama, poetry, or by teaching children around a family table.
