O my God, I love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with no other desire than to be inseparably united to Thee. It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
First Reading Job 38:1,8-11
From the heart of the tempest the Lord gives Job his answer
From the heart of the tempest
the Lord gave Job his answer. He said: 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.
Responsorial Psalm
O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever
Second Reading 2 Corint. 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.

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.’
Heavenly Father, God of the universe, thank you for your faithfulness and love. Father I adore and worship you. You alone Father be all glory, honor, worship and adoration. Thank you loving Father.
Lord Jesus Christ my Saviour. I know you care for me. I should never doubt your love and care. You gave up your throne in heaven for my sake. This should be my assurance that in every storm in my life you are ever present. I shall never be overwhelmed, for I know Lord you will never leave to drown. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for loving me. Lord I trust in you. Mother, Blessed Virgin Mary pray for me.
