Sunday Scripture: Reflection for June 23, 2024Scripture Reflection: June 23, 2024 – Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary time Jb 38:1, 8-11 Ps 107:23-31 2 Cor 5:14-17 Mk 4:35-41 Today we are reminded that God creates all and has power and control over all of creation. God questions Job and asks, “who was there when I set limits and who shut within doors the sea?” (Jb. 38:8) God addresses Job to remind him of God’s power over creation. In the Gospel Jesus also speaks of this power. While the disciples were in a boat a storm came up and tossed them about. All the while Jesus was asleep in the boat. They woke Him and He said to the sea, “Quiet! Be Still!” and the wind ceased (Mk. 4:39). Only Jesus can calm the storms in our lives. So, when we are tempted to think we can control the storms in our lives we must remember that God has all of this in His hands. We must be “Quiet! Be Still!” and trust that God will calm the storms in our lives. Loretta Ortego Flowers of the Prairie Community Eunice, LA
