St. Mark, Evangelist

St. Mark the Evangelist was a companion of the apostles Peter and Paul and the author of the Gospel bearing his name. His Gospel proclaims Christ as the Son of God who comes to suffer, die, and rise again. Early tradition holds that Mark later served the Church in Alexandria and suffered martyrdom. His witness continues to call the Church to faithful proclamation of the Gospel revealed in heaven and confessed on earth (Revelation 4:1–10).

Mark’s witness directs us to Christ, the faithful and true Lord. As we remain rooted in Him, may we grow in devotion to the Gospel and bear fruit through faithful confession and living trust in Christ.
