Bible Study: The Gospel of Mark

Beginning in January, we read large chunks of Mark's gospel at Sunday Eucharist. Sister Joan places those excerpts we hear in the larger context of Mark's whole gospel. This 88-page book is ideal for Bible study groups, homilists, and individuals interested in how each gospel reflects Jesus' life and teaching.

Pope Francis

If you had to change your name, who would you want to be named after? What would taking on that name mean for you as a reminder to how you want to live? If you were to pick on line from The Prayer of St. Francis as your mantra for the week, which would it be? Why?

For the following month, I wore that shirt everywhere: to a school dance, out for a movie and pizza with my girlfriends, even just running errands with my mom (although usually with a sweater over it, just in case).
