This plan follows the Sunday liturgy:  reading + psalm + reading + gospel       From  www.simplebible.info         Previous R-R-P 

O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today.

 Reading - Reflection - Prayer   April 26, 2013 

Readings for the Feast of St Mark (held over from yesterday, because of Anzac Day)

First Reading: Mark a disciple of Peter and Paul

Responsorial Psalm:  Mark's Gospel has proclaimed God's truth for 20 centuries

Gospel:  This reading, the famous ending of Mark's Gospel, was not written by Mark. 
Better idea today: just browse through Mark's Gospel

Reflection: Mark's Gospel was written for people in a time of persecution.
May it give strength and courage to people today who are suffering because of their faith

Prayer:  Dear Jesus, may the feasts of Bible saints, like St Mark, stir up our love for the Bible
....and give us more courage and strength in difficult times
