The First Sunday of Advent we begin a new liturgical year. Throughout this year we will be reading from the Gospel of Mark (Cycle B of readings). For the next three weeks, this series will reflect on the Gospel of Mark: the author, date of the gospel, his audience (readers), purpose in writing the gospel, and unique characteristics of his Gospel.
I: Author and Date of the Gospel
The earliest manuscripts of the second Gospel in the New Testament are titled According to Mark. This heading is not part of the original work but was added by the early Christians. It summarizes the Church’s uniform tradition that Mark, a disciple of Peter, wrote the second Gospel. Although there is no direct in- ternal evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early church that this Gospel was written by John Mark (“John, also called Mark, (Acts 12:12 and 15:37). The most important evidence comes from Papias (c. a.d. 140), who quotes an even earlier source as saying: (1) Mark was a close associ- ate of Peter, from whom he received the tradition of the things said and done by the Lord; (2) this tradition did not come to Mark as a finished, sequential account of the life of our Lord, but as the preaching of Pe- ter—preaching directed to the needs of the early Christian communities; (3) Mark accurately preserved this material. The conclusion drawn from this tradition is that the Gospel of Mark largely consists of the preaching of Peter arranged and shaped by Mark.
It is generally agreed that the Mark who is associated with Peter in the early tradition is also the John Mark of the New Testament. The first mention of him is in connection with his mother, Mary, who had a house in Jerusalem that served as a meeting place for believers (Acts 12:12). Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas when they returned to Antioch from Jerusalem after visiting the famine there (Acts 12:25). Mark next appears as a “helper” to Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:5), but he de- serted them at Perga in Pamphylia to return to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13). Paul must have been deeply disap- pointed with Mark’s actions on this occasion, because when Barnabas proposed taking Mark on the sec- ond journey, Paul flatly refused, a refusal that broke up their working relationship (Acts 15:36–39). Barna- bas took Mark, who was his cousin (Colossians 4:10), and departed for Cyprus. No further mention is made of either of them in the book of Acts. Mark reappears in Paul’s letter to the Colossians written from Rome. Paul sends a greeting from Mark and adds: “You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him” (Colossians 4:10). At this point Mark was apparently beginning to win his way back into Paul’s confidence. By the end of Paul’s life, Mark had fully regained Paul’s favor (see 2Timothy 4:11).
Two factors suggest that Mark composed his Gospel before 70 AD within one generation of the events he recorded. First, The Gospel itself points us in this direction. In Mark 13, Jesus makes a prediction of the imminent destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, which took place in 70 AD when the Romans violent- ly destroyed the city. However, Mark makes no mention of this as a past event, nor does he give detailed information about the catastrophe that would indicate he was writing after the fact. Second, prominent traditions indicate that Mark wrote his Gospel soon after Peter’s martyrdom (c. 67 AD). So our best esti- mate for the date of composition is mid to late 60’s but before 70 AD.

5 Prayer Intentions During Advent
The word ADVENT comes from Latin and means "coming;" its purpose is to look forward to the coming of Christ to Earth; it was a season that focused on waiting. So, "Advent means something new is coming. The dawn of a new and better era. This is really what the Christmas season is all about, isn’t it? It’s the celebra- tion of the ADVENT of a new era. God broke into time and space and entered our world" Through prayer, we can enter into God's presence and ask Him to prepare our hearts the way He prepared all of history to receive the gift of His Son. Ask the Father to use this time during Advent to cut away the distractions and make your life a place of warmth and openness. We've compiled these Advent prayers from across our archives to help you make sure there's "room at the inn" of your heart this year.
1. Pray for attentiveness to what truly matters, without being distracted by trivial things. 2. Pray for opportunities to learn something new regularly. 3. Pray for discernment of how God would like you to set your priorities and the ability to focus on them consistently to fulÞll His purposes in your life. 4. Pray for those suffering from the effects of the pandemic. 5. Pray for a return of lost souls to the eucharist.
Thoughts for the First Sunday of Advent
Patience in Prayer One of my favorite prayers is taken from a letter written by the French Jesuit, author, and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who died in 1955. It’s a passage urging a young recipient to be patient. “Above all,” it begins, “trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.” The prayer suggests patience in all things, especially patience with your- self.
Advent is a season centered on patience. The central image of Advent, after all, is an expectant mother: Mary carrying Jesus. But this is not simply a dull wait, as you might wait for the traffic light to turn green at an intersection. It’s a hopeful waiting, confident that God is about to do something exciting and that whatever God brings will be more than you can imagine.
Still, waiting can be hard. And perhaps the most difficult thing is waiting for yourself to change. WE all have an image of who we hope to become one day: perhaps kinder, freer, more generous. And we don’t seem to get there. Or, rather, we don’t seem to get there fast enough.
In those times I always remember an experience on a retreat. I was lament- ing to my retreat director that I wasn’t changing fast enough. I felt stuck. “Look out that window,” he said. It was a summer’s day. “What color is that tree? “ “Green,” I said, referring to a large maple. “What color is it in the fall?” he said. “Red,” I said. My retreat director said, “And no one sees it change.” Trust in the slow work of God.
