Job
38:1,8-11 · |
From the heart of the tempest the Lord
gives Job his answer
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.
The
word of the Lord.

Psalm
106(107):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.
O
give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
tossing the waves of the sea
up to heaven and back into the deep;
their souls melted away in their distress.
O
give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
and he rescued them from their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper:
all the waves of the sea were hushed.
O
give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.
and he led them to the haven they desired.
Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for men.
O
give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.

2 Corinthians
5:14-17 · |
We do not judge anyone by the standards of
the flesh
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 standards 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.
The
word of the Lord.

Gospel |
Mark 4:35-41 |
'Even the wind and the sea obey him'
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.’
The
Gospel of the Lord.
