St. Mark, Evangelist
Thursday, April 18, 2024
Feast Day April 25th.
May God give us, like Mark, the wisdom and grace to preach the Gospel of Christ:
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. Amen.
St. Mark is the patron saint of lions, lawyers, Venice, interpreters, and prisoners.
