First reading Job 38:1,8-11

From the heart of the tempest the Lord gives Job his answer

From the heart of the tempest the Lord gave Job his answer. He said:
Who pent up the sea behind closed doors
  when it leapt tumultuous out of the womb,
when I wrapped it in a robe of mist
  and made black clouds its swaddling bands;
when I marked the bounds it was not to cross
  and made it fast with a bolted gate?
Come thus far, I said, and no farther:
  here your proud waves shall break.
 

Responsorial Psalm 106(107):23-26,28-32

O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
Some sailed to the sea in ships
  to trade on the mighty waters.
These men have seen the Lord’s deeds,
  the wonders he does in the deep.
 
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
For he spoke; he summoned the gale,
  tossing the waves of the sea
up to heaven and back into the deep;
  their souls melted away in their distress.
 
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
Then they cried to the Lord in their need
  and he rescued them from their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper:
  all the waves of the sea were hushed.
 
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
They rejoiced because of the calm
  and he led them to the haven they desired.
Let them thank the Lord for his love,
  for the wonders he does for men.
 
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 

Second reading 2 Corinthians 5:14-17

We do not judge anyone by the standards of the flesh

The love of Christ overwhelms us when we reflect that if one man has died for all, then all men should be dead; and the reason he died for all was so that living men should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life for them.
  From now onwards, therefore, we do not judge anyone by the standards of the flesh. Even if we did once know Christ in the flesh, that is not how we know him now. And for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation; the old creation has gone, and now the new one is here.
 

Gospel Mark 4:35-41

‘Even the wind and the sea obey him’

With the coming of evening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him. Then it began to blow a gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped. But he was in the stern, his head on the cushion, asleep. They woke him and said to him, ‘Master, do you not care? We are going down!’ 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. Then he said to them, ‘Why are you so frightened? How is it that you have no faith?’ They were filled with awe and said to one another, ‘Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.’

Reflection
Job 38:1, 8-11, 2 Corinthians 5:14-17, Mark 4:35-41

“A quiet trust in God”
Living amid the Covid storm, we can identify with the fear and anxiety of the disciples in today’s gospel passage. The disciples were terrified when they encountered a huge storm. Jesus, on the other hand, was peacefully sleeping with His head on a cushion. Jesus slept despite the storm reveals His quiet trust in God His Father. He told His disciples, “Why are you so frightened? Have you still no faith?” because He wanted them to have His same trust in God.

Today, Jesus invites us to put our trust in God even though we might experience uncertainties in life. We need to be aware that our faith in God does not mean that we will never experience storms of hardship, sickness, failures and loss. Instead, our faith helps us to perceive that God is with us as well as guides us to focus on His presence more than the overwhelming storms of life. Let find our peace in God.

Question for reflection:
What strikes me as I reflect on the gospel passage today?

Renungan
Ayub 38:1, 8-11, 2 Korintus 5:14-17, Markus 4:35-41

“Kepercayaan teguh kepada Tuhan”
Hidup di tengah badai pandemik Covid, kita dapat mengenal pasti ketakutan dan kebimbangan para rasul dalam petikan injil hari ini. Para rasul merasa takut ketika berhadapan dengan ribut taufan. Yesus sebaliknya, tidur dengan tenang dengan kepalaNya di atas bantal. Yesus yang tidur meskipun ribut taufan melanda menunjukkan kepercayaan teguhNya kepada Allah BapaNya. Dia menyatakan kepada para rasulNya, “Mengapa kamu begitu takut? Mengapa kamu tidak percaya?” kerana Dia mahu agar mereka memiliki kepercayaan yang sama yang dimilikiNya.

Hari ini Yesus menjemput kita untuk meletakkan kepercayaan kita kepada Tuhan walaupun kita mungkin akan berhadapan dengan ketidakpastian dalam hidup. Kita harus sedar bahawa iman kita pada Tuhan bukan bermakna kita tidak akan pernah mengalami kesusahan hidup, penyakit, kegagalan dan kehilangan. Sebaliknya, iman kita membantu kita untuk memahami bahawa Tuhan menyertai kita serta membimbing kita untuk lebih memberi perhatian kepada kehadiranNya berbanding badai taufan yang kita alami dalam kehidupan. Marilah menemukan damai kita di dalam Tuhan.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah yang menarik perhatian saya ketika merenungkan petikan injil hari ini?

Jop 38:1,8-11
2 Kor 5:14-17
Mark 4:35-41

Arap ka Allah Taala.
Kitai ulih ngasai agi diau dalam penakut ati sereta pengirau baka bala Murid ba bacha saritu laban kitai diau ba biau balai pengerekai penyakit Covid-19. Bala Murid balat takut lebuh biau balai mangka sida. Tang Jesus, tinduk jenak ba dalam perau nya. Iya tinduk taja kena pangka biau balai laban Iya endang arap ka Allah Taala ti Apai Iya. Ko Iya bejako ngagai bala murid Iya,“Nama kebuah kita takut? Kati kita mengkang enda arap?” laban Iya deka bala Murid Iya sama bela Arap ka Allah Taala baka Iya ti arap.

Saritu, Jesus ngangau kitai awak nyerah ka pengarap ati kitai ka Allah Taala taja kitai tentu deka ngasaika mayuh bansa penguji dalam pengidup. Kitai ngaku taja kitai arap ka Allah Taala ukai reti nya kitai enda deka ngasai ka biau balai baka sakit, penanggol tauka pengerugi. Tang pengarap kitai deka nyaup kitai awak meda Allah Taala sertai kitai lalu ngiring kitai awak meda Iya dalam semua penusah ti nyadi. Aram kitai bulih pemaik dalam Allah Taala.

Nama utai ti negu aku lebuh berati ka bacha Injil saritu?

2021年6月20日 常年期第十二主日

省思
《约卅八:1, 8-11》
《格后五:14-17》
《谷四:35-41》

“对上主的信任”
生活在新冠病毒风暴中,我们可以确认在福音里门徒们的恐惧和焦虑。门徒遇到风暴时非常焦虑。然而,耶稣却很轻松的把手当头枕在垫子上睡觉。耶稣在风暴中睡觉表现出祂对天主的信任。祂告诉门徒:”你为什么这么害怕?你没有信德吗?”祂要信徒们有着对天主同样的信任。

今天,耶稣邀我们完全相信天主就算我们面对生活中的未知数。我们必须了解我们的信德不面对生活中的困难,生病,失败和失去而影响。反而,我们的信德让我们感受到天主与我们同在,并且帮助我们专注于天主的存在而不是生活当中的极大的风暴。让我们在天主中找到平静。

省思题:
今天,当我反省福音时,是什么打动了我?
