Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Book of Job

The LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said :
And who shut within doors the sea, when it burst forth from the womb;
When I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling bands?
When I set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door,
And said: Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!

Psalms

Some went off to sea in ships, plied their trade on the deep waters.
They saw the works of the LORD, the wonders of God in the deep.
He spoke and roused a storm wind; it tossed the waves on high.
They rose up to the heavens, sank to the depths; their hearts trembled at the danger.
In their distress they cried to the LORD, who brought them out of their peril,
Hushed the storm to a murmur; the waves of the sea were stilled.
They rejoiced that the sea grew calm, that God brought them to the harbor they longed for.
Let them thank the LORD for such kindness, such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.

Second Letter to the Corinthians

Brothers and sisters: The love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died.
He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: "Let us cross to the other side."
Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him.
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up.
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind ceased and there was great calm.
Then he asked them, "Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?"
They were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"

St. Etheldreda(abbess (7th century))

SAINT ETHELDREDAAbbess(7th century) St. Etheldreda received faith from her parents. Her mother and three sisters are also saints. She wanted to become a religious, but was compelled to marry Tonbercht, a tributary of the Mercian king. She lived with him as a virgin for three years, and retired to the Isle of Ely after his passing. Etheldreda's peaceful contemplation was interrupted when the king of Northumbria, Egfrid, forced her into a second marriage. Her life at his court was ascetical. She lived as his sister and not his wife. Twelve years later, with her husband's consent, Etheldreda retired to Coldingham Abbey under the rule of St. Ebba, and received the veil from St. Wilfrid. However, King Egfrid reneged on his promise and attempted to take her back. She took refuge on a headland near the Coldingham coast; and here a miracle took place. The waters forced themselves around her hill and barred Egfrid's advance. After seven days, Egfrid recognized the divine will and left Etheldreda in peace. In 672, Etheldreda returned to Ely and founded a double monastery. As its abbess, she was a living example of the Good Shepherd and a temple of the Holy Spirit. Some time after her death in 679, Etheldreda's body was found uncorrupt. St. Bede recorded many miracles at her tomb.
