Hey there, Sprouts.

Welcome back to the Catholic Sprouts podcast, where we are working our way through the Gospels this year.

We're on day 60.

We're reading Mark's Gospel. And today we are going to be reading from chapter 2, verses 13 through 28.

Now, I am reading from the New American Translation of the Gospel.

I encourage you to follow along or take notes.

But please remember that God's Holy Word is alive and active.

So join me in prayer as we open our hearts to receive his message.

Send forth your spirit and they shall be created and you will renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
