A 'Go' that binds

Celebrating Mark the Evangelist
1 Pet 5:5-14; Mk 16:15-20
Mark comes out as a dedicated young man convinced of his call and enduring in his response. The apostles and disciples were extremely different from each other in their calibre and character. But what bound them together was the 'Go' that they received from the Lord. It was the commission from the Master that kept them going. We see generations of them following each other in responding whole heartedly to the project entrusted. Mark becomes the representative of the generation that immediately followed the 12 and Mark leaves indelible trails by his commitment and dedication. The call is to the young today: can you dedicate yourself to the commission from the Lord... to Go!
