Mark, Evangelist: We give thanks today (April 25) for the witness of Mark. Although Mark was not one of the twelve apostles, he was probably a member of the early church community. The gospel that bears his name is the shortest, most direct, and is thought to be the first to be written. Most notably, he began his gospel by stating quite simply, "The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." (Mk 1.1)
