First Reading
JOB 38:1, 8-11
1 Then from the heart
of the tempest Yahweh gave Job his answer. He said:
8 Who pent up the sea
behind closed doors when it leapt tumultuous from the womb,
9 when I wrapped it in
A robe of mist and made black clouds its swaddling bands;
10 when I cut out the
place I had decreed for it and imposed gates and A bolt?
11 'Come so far,' I
said, 'and no further; here your proud waves must break!'

PSALMS 107:23-26,
28-31
23 Voyagers on the sea
in ships, plying their TRADE on the great ocean,
24 have seen the WORKS
of Yahweh, his wonders in the deep.
25 By his word he raised
A storm-wind, lashing up towering waves.
26 Up to the sky then
down to the depths! Their stomachs were turned to water;
28 They cried out to
Yahweh in their distress, he rescued them from their plight,
29 he reduced the storm
to A calm, and all the waters subsided,
30 and he brought them,
overjoyed at the stillness, to the port where they were bound.
31 Let them thank Yahweh
for his faithful love, for his wonders for the children of Adam!
Second Reading
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-17
14 For the love of
Christ overwhelms us when we consider that if one man died for all, then all
have died;
15 his purpose in dying
for all humanity was that those who live should live not any more for
themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life.
16 From now onwards,
then, we will not consider anyone by human STANDARDS: even if we were once
familiar with Christ according to human STANDARDS, we do not know him in that
way any longer.
17 So for anyone who is
in Christ, there is ANEW creation: the old order is gone and a new being is
there to see.

Gospel Reading
MARK 4:35-41
35 With the coming of
evening that same day, he said to them, 'Let us cross over to the other side.'
36 And leaving the crowd
behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats
with him.
37 Then it began to blow
A great gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost
swamped.
38 But he was in the
stern, his head on the cushion, asleep.
39 They woke him and
said to him, 'Master, do you not care? We are lost!' And he woke up and rebuked
the wind and said to the sea, 'Quiet now! Be calm!' And the wind dropped, and
there followed a great calm.
40 Then he said to them,
'Why are you so frightened? Have you still no faith?'
41 They were overcome
with awe and said to one another, 'Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea
obey him.'
