12 Sunday B: The Lord in the Storms of our Life
Michel DeVerteuil
Scripture comments
Unlike the passages of the last two weeks, this Sunday’s passage is, in one sense, a single story and we must read it as a whole. But in another sense, it tells two stories – one of Jesus and one of the apostles. Each has its movement that we can enter into, and there is a striking contrast between the attitudes shown in each.
As you meditate, observe how you are situating yourself in relation to the passage: which of the two stories are you identifying with, the one of Jesus or the one of the apostles? Is it your personal story or the story of someone who has touched your life? Does Jesus remind you of some person or of God himself? Is this something that is happening now or something that has happened in the past?Answering these questions will help you enter into the story.
Nativity of John The Baptist
From Fr. Tony Kadavil:
Synopsis:
Nativity of St. John the Baptist [A, B, C] June 23: Vigil Mass)
Introduction: Usually, we reflect upon two advents and two angelic
messages during the Advent season, namely, the advent of John the Baptist and
the advent of Jesus. This year the feast of the Birth of John (which occurs
June 24), falls on a Sunday and thus replaces the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary
Time. That is why we hear again the angelic message announcing the birth of
Christ’s forerunner. The archangel Gabriel informed the childless Zechariah the
priest that a son, whom he was to name John, would be born to him and his
barren, aged wife. Today’s Gospel describes how Zechariah got the Divine
message in the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Jerusalem while he was offering
incense.
