ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 28th of April
SAINT MARK, BISHOP AND MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Mark. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Atino, Saint Mark, who being made bishop by the blessed apostle Peter, was the first to preach the Gospel to the inhabitants of that region, and received the crown of martyrdom in the persecution of Domitian, under the governor Maximus."
PRAYER:
Grant to your Church, we beseech you, O Lord, through the intercession of Saint Mark, not to think high-mindedly, but to grow in humility pleasing to you; that, despising what is base, she may with unbounded love diligently do whatever is right. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
