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.

11th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - June 16, 2024

The readings for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B are filled with images of growth. The first reading tells of planting a shoot on a mountain, which then becomes a shelter for the birds. And in the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the seed that grows and the parable of the mustard seed.

So, on the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, the readings focus on faith, growth, and humility. The messages show God's power to nurture and transform lives, encouraging us to trust and follow Him.

• God's Nurturing Power: God takes a small shoot and grows it into a great tree. This shows His ability to nurture small beginnings into something great.
• Faith and Trust: We are called to walk by faith, not by sight. Trusting in God's plan, even when we cannot see the outcome, pleases Him.
• Judgment by Deeds: We will be judged by Christ for what we have done. Our actions matter and we should strive to do good.
• Humility and Exaltation: God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. He values humility and lifts up those who are lowly.
• Parable of the Mustard Seed: The kingdom of God starts small like a mustard seed but grows large. This shows the power of faith and the growth of God's kingdom.

The readings for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B remind us to trust in God's power and care. They encourage us to live humble, faithful lives, knowing God will grow and nurture our faith.
