June 23, 2024 – XII Sunday in Ordinary Time

+ From the Gospel according to Mark (4, 35 – 41)

On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross over to the other shore.” And having sent the crowd away, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
There was a great windstorm and the waves were pouring into the boat, so much so that it was now full. He was in the stern, on the pillow, and sleeping. Then they woke him up and said to him, “Master, don’t you care that we are lost?”
He woke up, threatened the wind and said to the sea: “Shut up, calm down!”. The wind stopped and there was a great calm. Then he said to them: «Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”.
And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
