"And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs." (Mark 16: 20 NLT)
This is how St Mark the Evangelist ended his Gospel. 16 chapters. Full of power. In the past few days, we have heard three times from Jesus:
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16: 15). Today we witness the response and the results. You may ask: Where are the accompanying miracles today? The answer is simple: Miracles are happening everywhere in the world as the Gospel is proclaimed with faith and power. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13: 8).
Today is the feast of St Mark the Evangelist.
"O God, who raised up Saint Mark, your Evangelist, and endowed him with the grace to preach the Gospel,
grant, we pray, that we may so profit from his teaching as to follow faithfully in the footsteps of Christ.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever."
