Mark Burkard

What is your favorite food?
Hamburger pie. It takes about three hours to make with my mom on a Sunday afternoon.
 
What is your favorite book?
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor.
 
What is your favorite movie?
The Matrix. It gives some food for thought and is action packed.

 
Who are your favorite saints?
  • St John Vianney
  • St. John Bosco
  • St. Philip Neri
  • St. Catherine of Siena
  • ​St. Teresa of Avila.
 
What is your favorite verse in Scripture?

“Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.” (2Tim 4:11) I feel very close to my patron saint and I love reading this verse. But I also like: “From his fulness we have all received grace upon grace.” (John 1:16)
 
What is your favorite thing about Jesus?
His most Sacred Heart, which he gives to us and all the virtues in it I can imitate.
 
What is your favorite thing about being Catholic?

That there are men who give themselves up every day for others and to make Jesus’s sacrifice present on the altar. That there are priests, whom Jesus gives with love to His Church.​
