Mark called it a Gospel, what he wove from sayings and parables of Jesus, scenes from Jesus’ ministry, and a Passion narrative.  He set the Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan as the beginning and ended it with the women fleeing an empty tomb in fear, and charged all his scenes energetically with feeling-rich questions in conversations among Jesus, the apostles and all the other characters.  The questions Mark gives  hisGospel characters invite us to notice a wonder at the range of questions in our own lives. How might our heartfelt questions from the most wonderful to the most terrible,  open us to curiosity, grace and hope?
