12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Mark 4:35-41
“And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Quiet now! Be calm!’ And the wind dropped, and all was calm again”. The disciples wanted to cross over to the other side. Jesus was sleeping in the boat. But He was present. His presence will save but the disciples did not have enough faith to recognize that. The waves frightened them. In that troublesome boat, Jesus could sleep because He had faith in His Father. But the disciples couldn’t. They thought that they are going down. But it will not happen because Jesus is there. In our daily life situations also there can be moments in which we think that we are going down. But do not be frightened. Jesus is with us. His presence with us has the saving power. Trust in Him. Let’s reflect: Do I get frightened when there are moments of going down or I look towards the presence of Jesus in our life?
