I'm planning to resume providing prompts for lectio divina this week, with a look at the Gospel of St Mark.
St Mark is actually my favourite of the Gospels, since it seems to provide the perspective of St Peter, and gives a strong picture of what it was like to be a disciple. It also has the virtue of being the shortest of the Gospels, making it easier to memorize!
Commentary
There are, unfortunately few major patristic commentaries on St Mark available online, and so I thought this might be a good opportunity to dip into the highly thought of seventeenth century commentary of Cornelius de Lapide as the primary aid for reading this Gospel.
Useful resources
For further reference, I've listed below some useful resources on St Mark available online.
Translations
New Advent (Septuagint, Vulgate, Knox translation)
Douay-Rheims
Introductions and commentaries
de Lapide
Haydock
Catena Aurea
Divine Lamp
