Today is the Feast Day of St Mark the Evangelist.

St Mark is the writer of the first Gospel of Jesus. It was written in Rome in 65AD and much of the information about Jesus is likely to have come from St Peter. A major theme of the Gospel is the suffering of Jesus which was an encouragement to the Christians in Rome who were enduring great persecution for their faith. Even for us, there will be times when it may take courage to live our faith and to do what is right.

This morning we ask God to continue to support us in our lives and that on all occasions we have the strength to be examples of faith to others.

Our Father…….
