Entrance Antiphon Cf. Ps 27: 8-9
The Lord is the strength of his people, a saving refuge for the one he has anointed. Save your people, Lord, and bless your heritage, and govern them for ever.
Collect Grant, O Lord, that we may always revere and love your holy name, for you never deprive of your guidance those you set firm on the foundation of your love. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First reading
Job 38:1,8-11 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.
Psalm
Psalm 106:23-26,28-32
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever. 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. R.
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. R.
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. R.
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. R.
Second reading 2 Corinthians 5:14-17
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 stand-ards 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 Acclamation
cf.Ep1:17,18 Alleluia, alleluia! May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our mind, so that we can see what hope his call holds for us. Alleluia!
Gospel
Mark 4:35-41 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.’
Prayer over the Offerings Receive, O Lord, the sacrifice of conciliation and praise and grant that, cleansed by its action, we may make offering of a heart pleasing to you. Through Christ our Lord Communion Antiphon
Ps 144: 15 The eyes of all look to you, Lord, and you give them their food in due season. Prayer after Communion Renewed and nourished by the Sacred Body and Precious Blood of your Son, we ask of your mercy, O Lord, that what we celebrate with constant devotion may be our sure pledge of redemption. Through Christ our Lord.

Meditation
In the midst of a storm, Jesus confronted the raging sea. With a single word he commanded wind and waves and exhorted his disciples to greater faith. This is not simply a nice story told to reassure the timid. It is a gospel word for everyone who, having embarked with Jesus,
discovers in the storm that the master seems to be asleep. Jesus initiated the crossing and, alone with his disciples, steered for the eastern shore of the lake. After a tiring day, he fell asleep and remained so into the very heart of the storm until his followers were driven to a frenzy. On a certain Friday, too, he will seem swallowed up in the sleep of death, and the faith of his friends will waver. In the boat, the disciples shook him frantically until he awoke. As if he were exorcising a demon, Jesus threat-ened the powers of death lashing the boat. Suddenly, the lake was calm but their hearts remained troubled. In quieting the storm, Jesus has stirred up a question: Who is this? “They cried to the Lord in their distress; from their straits he rescued them. He hushed the storm to a gentle breeze, and the billows of the sea were stilled” (Ps 107:28-29). No doubt Mark was speaking to a persecuted, terrified Church, exhorting them to faith. How could they endure except by turning to the One whom the wind and sea obey? He is always there in the boat, even if he seems to be asleep. Caught as we are in the storm of our day we must have faith in spite of everything.
