St. Mark is unique in its brevity and its vividness. It portrays a flesh and blood Jesus perhaps more simply and clearly than any other Gospel. It is said to have been drawn from the actual preaching of the Apostle Peter in Rome. It shows our Lord's divinity through his miracles and, in a special way, Mark sets out the stark demands and great rewards of true discipleship.

Many Catholics would like a better, clearer, firmer grasp of the prophecies which foretell the appearance of Christ as the Messiah of Israel. In this series we also look at the signs and teachings of Christ's second coming - a topic about which there is as much confusion as there is interest. How then should a serious believer look at these passages of Scripture? How should we interpret them? How can we apply their lessons and warnings? What a subject for solid teaching and lively discussion!
