REFLECTIONS ON THE READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY

In today’s world, mankind has sown the seeds of

discontent and discord. Due to our own selfishness,

pride, power and greed, the world experiences disaster

after disaster. Yet, for the Christian, there is one

undeniable fact – God is in charge. For the Christian,

Christ came and shed His light in the world of

darkness. It is this Light that is the world’s hope in

time of distress. It is the Christian faith in God that

allows mankind the luxury to find peace and comfort

when all others are grasping at straws to find some

solace that will carry them through the storm. For

over two thousand years, the Christian and their

predecessors, the Jews, have turned to God in faith for

rescue. Today’s Liturgy of the Word reminds all of

mankind that God is and has been there for them

throughout history. All they have to do is turn to . . .

REFLECTIONS ON THE SUNDAY READINGS (continued)

. . . Him and reach out their hands for safety and

comfort.

In today’s first reading taken from the Book of

Job, God makes it patently transparent that He is

in control of everything. Job is tested by God and

refuses to capitulate and forsake his God despite

the challenges God allows him to

experience. The Lord begins the

passage with a hint of theophany

as Job challenges the reason for

the disasters he endures. The

Divine Being reminds Job of God’s

omnipotence and omniscience as

He calls Job to stand and face the

predicaments that are presented

to him. Using storms and the sea,

God portrays Himself as one who

loves and controls everything

with the compassion and the

wisdom of a parent. Job has to

acknowledge that God is cognizant of what is

happening and that He will lead the way. Job just

has to accept the situation and keep the faith.

Likewise, in the Second Letter of Saint Paul to the

Corinthians, Paul continues his discourse on his

own sufferings and faith. The Apostle to the

Gentiles reminds the budding Church of Corinth

that Jesus died once and for all. This converted

persecutor of Christians reflects upon the fact

that through their baptism and conversion, all

Christians have died in the flesh only to be raised

in Christ through his resurrection. Zealously, Paul

preaches that all must not live for themselves;

rather, they are now called to live for Christ in a

new Creation, forsaking the old and the mammon

that it offers. This is the way of agape love – love

that is sacrificial in nature and exemplified by

Christ, Jesus.

Finally, today’s Gospel according to Mark, relates

a theophanic event. In this selection, Jesus is

sleeping in a boat that is being tossed about by

turbulent waves due to a storm at sea. As his boat

and others around him experience a violent and

threatening storm, his disciples panic and are

afraid they will sink and die. Mark explains that

they awake their master and cry out for help. In

turn, Jesus calmly and quickly calms the waters

bringing astonishment to his fearful companions.

They ponder at the astonishing power that Jesus

presents as Christ inquires as to where was their

faith? Using this event, the Gospel reveals Jesus’

Divinity as only God could be master of the

elements.

Today’s Word allows Holy Mother the Church the

opportunity to refresh our own minds of God’s

ability and desire to control and grant safety and

solace to our sinful world. As we witness, the

power of sin in our world, we also witness the

power of God to overcome the darkness and

distress we encounter. Like the apostles, we are

sailing into turbulent waters that threaten to

overpower and destroy us. Sin, the ultimate and

permanent death, surrounds our daily lives. We

have only to turn to Jesus and ask for His

assistance in order to calm the “waters” that

threaten our “boat”. Faith in God, faith in Jesus,

and faith in His Divine Mercy will allow us to die

to ourself and rise in the Lord through His

Paschal Mystery. God is indeed in charge and we

need only our faith in Christ the Lord to endure

whatever comes and to rise to eternal life.
