Seven Days with the Gospel of Mark: For a Personal and Shared Retreat

Mark's gospel reads like a mystery. Who is this Jesus, and what are his intentions? Why doesn't anyone seem to understand him? How should we relate to him? Why does Mark's gospel start with the words, "The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God"? What is that good news? During this retreat, Fr. Donders helps readers uncover the mystery. Here we come to know Jesus in his moments of teaching, healing, suffering, and glory, and we learn not only what his life is about but also what our own lives are about in relation to his. Fr. Donders offers meditations for both morning and evening, as well as points for prayer and action. Seven Days with the Gospel of Mark provides an excellent prayer experience for individuals or groups, and serves as a study guide for those who wish to delve more deeply into the gospel of Mark.Joseph G Donders, Joseph G.
