Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist. Although he was not one of the direct disciples of Jesus, Saint Mark is one of the authors of the Gospel accounts and played a vital role in spreading the Good News as a missionary in the early church. Through his writings, he proclaimed God's word to the entire world. We are all disciples of God and we also have a mission to spread the Gospel in some way.
