Evening: Psalms 67, 96; Isaiah 62:6-12; 2 Timothy 4:1-11
St. Mark, whose Day this is, wrote the earliest account of Jesus’s life; he also accompanied Barnabas and Paul, as they carried Jesus’s message throughout the Mediterranean world. Paul influenced and encouraged Mark, as he did others, to be persistent whether the moment is favourable or not; to convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching; to be sober, to endure suffering, to do your best to bring good news. Without Mark, the world may have turned out quite differently. All of which makes me wonder what difference I myself might make by sharing Jesus’s message?
