About this episode

Fr. Anthony Gramlich compares the Gospel of Mark to an action movie, emphasizing the importance of faith through deeds and the mission of Jesus.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/042526.cfm Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, compares the Gospel of Mark to an action-packed movie that throws viewers immediately into the mission of Jesus, emphasizing that the Good News is meant to inspire faith through deeds rather than just dialogue. He explains how this "gospel of action" moves from John the Baptist's roar to the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension, challenging us to continue the mission by proclaiming the faith through modern media and the power of Baptism. By immersing ourselves in Scripture under the guidance of the Church, we wield the Sword of the Spirit to combat temptation and spread the Good News to every person. ⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod ✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod ⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy! https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=pod Follow Us on Social Media! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheDivineMercy/ 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DivineMercyOfficial 【ꚠ】TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marianfathers ★ Support this…
