Today's reading Password/contraseña: 341895# describes how Jesus calmed a storm at sea. It is the first of four miracles that are presented in sequence at this Something Funny/ Algo Gracioso point in Mark's Gospel. (Job 8:21 “He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, As is typical in Mark's Gospel, Jesus' disciples are and your lips with shouting.”) frightened by the sudden storm; they do little to inspire confidence in the reader. Mark notes the contrast between the disciples' terror and Jesus' peace. Jesus is sleeping, untroubled by what is going on around him. The disciples' words to Jesus are telling. They are familiar enough with Jesus to dare to wake him. Their words to him are words of reproach, questioning his care for them. A careful reader might wonder what the disciples expected Jesus to do. Are they more troubled by the storm or by Jesus' inattentiveness to their needs? How many of us have chided a family member or friend for not agreeing with our assessment of the severity of a situation? Today's Gospel offers evidence of Jesus' power and authority as he calms the storm. In his day, power over nature was believed to be a sign of divinity—only God calms storms. Jesus' rebuke of the storm also echoes the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time / 12 domingo de tiempo ordinario 2021 (Year B/ Ano B) rebuke he uses when he talks to and expels demons. In each situation, Jesus' power and authority is a sign of his Happy Father’s Day to all divinity. Indeed, the disciples are left wondering about Jesus' identity at the conclusion of today's Gospel. They fathers of Nativity Parish see before them a human being who acts with the authority and power of God. The disciples' uncertainty about Jesus' identity is a recurring them in Mark's "The father of one Gospel. who is right with God This Gospel is a metaphor for our lives. We are in the boat, the storms of life are raging around us, and like the will have much joy. disciples, we may believe that Jesus is unconcerned, or He who has a wise son “sleeping.” We hope that we will be as familiar with Jesus as his disciples. If we feel that Jesus is sleeping, will be glad in him." are we comfortable enough to wake Jesus and present (Proverbs 23:24) him with our needs? Jesus does not chide his disciples for waking him. Instead he chides them for their lack of faith, for their lack of perspective. When we bring our worries to God in prayer, we might just begin to learn to see things from God's perspective. https://www.loyolapress.com/catholic-resources/liturgical- year/sunday-connection/ Feliz Día de los Padres a todos los padres de Nativity “Mucho se alegrará el padre del justo: Y el que engendró sabio se gozará con él.” (Proverbios 23:24) 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time / 12 domingo de tiempo ordinario 2021 (Year B/ Ano B) Special Congratulations to our Graduates: Middle/ Junior High School Michael Ihedioha Chinazaekpere Ruth Ihezuo Brenda Lujan-Varela Ekene Uwasomba Anthony Reyes-Galvez Alexis Toledo Ekene Uwasomba
