What if Every Catholic in the Diocese of Rochester Read the Same Book? Imagine the power of having all of us read the same book: the Gospel of Mark! Spirit Alive! invites us all to know and understand Scripture better. What better way to do that than to devote some time to reading one book of the Bible: The Gospel of Mark? Join with the people of St Mary's & St. Bridget's by reading a chapter each week and then sharing your response to the reflection questions.
Why Mark? During this liturgical year, the whole Church will hear the Gospel of Mark. During Ordinary Time our Sunday Gospels will be from the Gospel of Mark.
The Gospel of Mark was written for early Christians who were experiencing persecution and suffering for their faith. It portrays Jesus as a man of action, a man always on the move to Spread the Word.
Things to consider as you read the Gospel of Mark.
