Of the four Gospels, Mark's is the earliest, the shortest, and the one in which Jesus is always on the move. In this painting by Guiseppe Caletti, you can see the lion on the right, very interested in what Mark is doing. Each of the Evangelists has a symbol; the lion is Mark's. To learn what little we know (or think we know) about him, here is the Noonday Prayer service for April 25, his feast day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk6m-9EyETI

Saints Alive!
I have been privileged to offer Noonday Prayer at my church, usually on Thursdays, which doesn’t matter because it’s on Youtube forever. [It’s amazing what can be done with a smartphone and a smart, helpful parish administrator!] The service is brief, with a place for a meditation. We usually look at the Episcopal calendar of saints, who are nearly always honored on their death dates, not their birth dates. Here is a hymn by medieval saint Hildegard of Bingen to set the mood.
