For 27 January 2024, Saturday of week 3 in Ordinary Time, based on Mark 4:35-41
On that day, when evening had come, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us go across to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?’ And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?’

Thanks Beth. Your preaching reminds me that at those times when I am afraid, I have come to believe that Jesus is with me and His presence calms my fears and makes all the difference! I’m definitely not going to make the journey without Him!
