Almighty God,
who enlightened your holy Church
through the inspired witness of your evangelist Saint Mark:
grant that we, being firmly grounded in the truth of the gospel,
may be faithful to its teaching both in word and deed;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
#StMark’s Day. The church calendar moves it out of Easter Week, yet Mark’s graphic account of the empty tomb – all he has to say about the Resurrection – makes it especially appropriate to observe in this Octave.
