Really live!

"Live on Him

that you may live for Him."

 

St John Vianney

 

THE LAST SUPPER by Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (oil on canvas)

 

And as they were eating, He took bread,

and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said,

"Take; this is My Body."

And He took a chalice, and when He had given thanks

He gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 

And He said to them,

"This is My Blood of the covenant,

which is poured out for many."

 

Gospel of Mark 14:22-24

 

 

St Mark

Evangelist, Martyr (+68 AD)

Disciple of St Peter, Cousin of Barnabus

Symbol:  lion, often winged*

*The Gospel of St Mark begins with St John the Baptist,

"the voice of one crying in the wilderness,"

a voice that St Jerome compared to the roar of a lion.
