Whoever is in Christ is a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Open To God’s Word
Today the Church begins a stretch of
Ordinary Time that will last for five months. The
liturgical vigor of the Easter Season and the feasts of
the Holy Trinity and the Body and Blood of Christ
settles down into this long stretch that opens before
us. During Ordinary Time the life of Christ is broken
open for us by one of the Gospel writers. This year we
have been hearing the Gospel of Saint Mark. We
begin this week by listening to his account of the Lord
Jesus calming the stormy seas. Through this miracle
Jesus tests the faith of his followers. As we settle into
Ordinary Time let us be open to the power of the
word of God to effect change within us. Let us pray
that our faith will be strengthened as we grow more
and more into faithful disciples.
