12th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - June 23, 2024

 On the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, the readings show God’s power and love. They remind us to trust in Him and live as new creations in Christ.

• God’s Power Over Creation: God sets boundaries for the sea and controls its limits. This shows His power and authority over all creation.
• Trust in God’s Control: In the Gospel, Jesus calms the storm. He asks the disciples why they are afraid, reminding us to trust in God’s control over our lives.
• Christ’s Love Changes Us: Paul’s letter says Christ’s love leads us to live for Him. In Christ, we become new creations, leaving our old selves behind.
• New Life in Christ: We are called to live differently because of Christ. Our old ways are gone, and we are made new.
• Faith in Difficult Times: The disciples’ fear during the storm shows a lack of faith. Jesus’ calming of the storm shows that faith in Him can bring peace.

These themes help us understand the readings for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B. They remind us to trust in God’s power and let Christ’s love transform our lives.

If in your parish you sing during second collections, prepare a song because we have Opus Sancti Petri. This is observed on the Sunday nearest the Solemnity of Saint Peter and Paul (June 29). Collections should be remitted in support of the Pointifical Society of Saint Peter the Apostle (Formation of seminarians, novices, clergy and Religious all over the world.) Songs like Patnubay, Sa 'Yo Lamang, Tungo Sa’Yo (Hangad) or any songs about priesthood, offertory songs involve offering one's self rather than bread and wine, etc. would be good.
