Paul Murphy Maintenance Manager ext. 114 We get just a smidgen of JOB this week, but it’s enough to give us a glimpse into what is surely the most beautiful hymn to nature in all literature. If you haven’t read the last chapters of JOB, do yourself a huge favor. Take your bible to the beach, or the mountains, or your favorite place to bird-watch, or, YES, the ZOO this summer, or just keep it handy as you watch any of the stunning David Atten- borough nature films. Read chapters 38-42 under the stars, with a flashlight, while camping this summer. If you don’t burst into a few verses of “How Great Thou Art” as you read about how God takes care of each star in the heavens, and every tiny sea creature, stop and read it again, slowly. It will slow your pulse, and relax your breathing. This is the section where God finally shows up to answer JOB’S challenge. And, by the way, where do we possibly get the phrase The patience of JOB? He’s roar- ingly impatient through the entire book, and who can blame him? If you think you’ve had a bad day---and if you did, please accept my heartfelt condolences---remember that JOB lost his crops, his workers, and all his children on the same day. It’s an ancient folktale, of course, but the very best parts are at the end, when God lets JOB know that God’s been with him all along. And here’s the comforting part: God shows up in the whirlwind, in the chaos, in the unknowing, in the storm at sea. Are you feeling tossed and thrown out of the boat? Lucky you. That’s where God lives. Can you sense God’s presence in your own challenges? Kathy McGovern ©2021 www.thestoryandyou.com

THE WIND AND THE SEA Living along the shores of Lake Superior—the “big lake,” as the locals call it—you can often hear the advice, “Respect the lake; don’t take it for granted.” People who know Lake Superior respect its power and watch out for its many moods. Sunken ships and boats crushed into kindling are testimonies to what the lake can do. The readings of this Sunday evoke our memories of the lake, of the mighty Mississippi River, or of the ocean itself. Who but God can control these mighty waters and set limits to their advance? The lake described in today’s Gos- pel was a body of water subject to sudden storms and churned into dangerous waves by terrible winds. But these mighty agents are subject to God. The sailor and the fisher all respect the water. Even more, they re- spect the awesome power of the Maker of wind and sea. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FEAST OF FAITH The Collection: A Privilege As the altar is prepared for the celebration of the Eucharist, the collection is taken up. In the early church, this part of the Mass must have been something to behold, as the people suddenly began to move, bringing forward to the deacons and priests freshly-baked bread and fine wine. Then, after the Eucharistic Prayer, that same community came forward again in the Communion procession, and they received back the very gifts they had given, now transformed into something infinitely more precious than bread and wine: the very Body and Blood of Christ. Beginning around the eleventh century, it became the custom for people to present money instead of bread and wine, and the procession of the faithful gradually disappeared (it survives in the liturgy of Holy Thursday). But the meaning is the same. We continue to bring the fruit of our labors and to offer them freely to God. And God continues to transform them into Christ. It is through our generous sharing of time, talent, and treasure that our parishes can preach the gospel, reach out to the sick and the imprisoned, and celebrate the sacraments. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J.

Si no has leído los últimos capítulos de Job, hazte un gran favor. Llévate tu biblia a la playa, o a las montañas, o a tu lugar favorito donde observas los pájaros, o, SÍ, al zoológico este verano, o simplemente tenla a la mano mientras vez cualquiera de los impresionantes documentales sobre la naturaleza de David Attenboro. Lee los capítu- los 38-42 bajo las estrellas con una linterna mientras acampas este verano. Si no comienzas a cantar algunos versos de “Cuan Grande es Él” mientras lees de co- mo Dios cuida cada estrella en el cielo, y cada diminuta criatura de mar, detente y léelo otra vez, lentamente. Te va a bajar el pulso y relajará tu respiración. Esta es la sección donde por fin Dios se presenta para responder el desafío de Job. Y, por cierto, ¿De dónde sacamos esa frase La Paciencia de Job? Job se desborda de im- paciencia durante toda la historia, y ¿Cómo podríamos culparlo? Si crees que has tenido un mal día—y si lo tuviste, por favor acepta mi más sentido pésame—recuerda que Job perdió su cosecha, sus trabajadores, y a todos sus hijos en el mismo día. Es un cuento popular antiguo, por supuesto, pero la mejor parte está al final, cuando Dios le deja saber a Job que ha estado con el todo él tiempo. Y la parte reconfortante es esta: Dios aparece en el torbellino, en el caos, en lo desconocido, en la tormenta en el mar. ¿Te sientes sacudido y arrojado fuera del barco? Estás de suerte. Ahí es donde vive Dios. ¿Puedes sentir la presencia de Dios en tus propios desafíos? Kathy McGovern ©2021 Traducido por Deisy Andrew
