For 23 June 2024, The Thirteenth Sunday 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?’

Grateful Fr. Constantino for your homily of the “Storm at the sea and Jesus in the boat asleep.”
It is a “Wake Up” call for all of us in the world, the church and family life. We are not to limit our mission. We are called to “let go” of whatever is holding us back to follow Jesus and to work for peace. I pray to be a “builder of Peace” and keep the Risen Jesus in my boat and our Dominican Sisters of Peace as face our challenges in building the future of Dominican Life and Mission.
God bless your continued preaching of the Good News!
