D A I L Y G O S P E L
Jesus could easily sleep through an earthquake. Why? He knows that He is loved by His Father in Heaven and ultimately that is all that matters in this life. What I have just said sounds a bit fundamentalistic, and it is, but it also captures the ultimate truth of how we are able to live a peaceful and calm life. Only the knowledge of God’s love for me enables me to live at peace with myself. Nothing else is capable of doing this.
ALLELUIA
R: Alleluia, alleluia
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.
R: Alleluia, alleluia
Mark 4:35-41
35 On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. 38 Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” 41 They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
