The St. Mark Prayer is a well-known Christian prayer attributed to the Apostle Mark, one of the four Gospel writers in the New Testament. The prayer is often recited as a form of intercession, seeking protection and guidance from God. It begins with the words, “O Glorious Saint Mark, through the grace of God, our Father, you were chosen to be an Evangelist, and to write the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” The prayer then goes on to ask for St. Mark’s intercession in our lives, asking for his help in times of trouble and asking for his guidance and wisdom to follow the path of righteousness. The St. Mark Prayer is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the early Christian Church and the importance of seeking God’s guidance in our lives.
