Saint Mark the Evangelist
Today is the feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist. What
follows is the collect of the day, and links to a short video from the Bible Project
(a wonderful online resource – we use their videos for our Zoom Bible Project
class on Wednesday nights). The video will give you a quick overview of how Mark’s
Gospel shares the Good News of Jesus. We also pray this day for the clergy and people
of Saint Mark’s churches around the world, and especially for the clergy and
people of our Diocesan Cathedral Church, Saint Marks in Shreveport.
The Collect:
Almighty God, by the hand of Mark the evangelist you have
given to your Church the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God: We thank you
for this witness, and pray that we may be firmly grounded in its truth; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Bible Project
is a crowdfunded nonprofit, that helps people everywhere experience the story
of Jesus. For the Mark video, click here and for the poster(info-graphic), click here.
