25 April 2024, Feast of the Evangelist Mark
Homily
The Evangelist Mark was a disciple of the Apostle Peter, and his Gospel is considered to be the first collection of the words and events surrounding the life and ministry of Jesus. As our Gospel reading this morning, we have the last verses of this Gospel of Mark, and as our first reading, we have the last verses of Peter's First Letter, where he conveys greetings from his disciple and son Mark.
