Walk with me, oh my Lord, through the darkest night and brightest day. Be at my side, oh Lord, hold my hand and guide me on my way.
Welcome; Today we hear about how in the middle of a great storm Jesus calmed the wind and the sea. He tells the disciples to have courage and to have faith. Let’s think a bit more about this now.
Let us focus on our responsorial Psalm:
< Lord, it is good to give thanks to You..>
//V// In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
//R// Amen.
//V// May The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with you all.
/R// And with Your Spirit.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said: 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!
“This is the word of the Lord”
All say “Thanks be to God”.
The Responsorial Psalm
Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.....say it,x3

The leader silently says:
”Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, that I may worthily proclaim your Holy Gospel.

Gospel Reading: The Gospel reading is from the book of ...: Mark 4:35-41
On the evening of that same day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they left the crowd; the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting, and they took him with them. Other boats were there too. Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the waves began to spill over into the boat, so that it was about to fill with water. Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”
Jesus stood up and commanded the wind, “Be quiet!” and he said to the waves, “Be still!” The wind died down and there was a great calm. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Why are you frightened? Have you still no faith?”
But they were terribly afraid and said to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Gospel of the Lord”
“Glory and praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”

==== 7:24 - 7:27 ====
Gospel reflection: What do you remember about today’s reading?
Jesus was in a boat with his disciples when the wind started to blow really strongly. And the waves started crashing against the boat. They were so high that the boat almost sank.
Have you ever been on a boat when the weather was bad? What was it like? How do you think you would have felt if you were on this boat?
What was Jesus doing while all this was happening? Was he afraid?
What did Jesus do when the disciples woke him up?
Jesus told the wind and the sea to be quiet and still.
The wind stopped blowing and the waves stopped crashing against the boat. 
but when he was alone with his disciples, he would explain everything to them.
Prayer
We pray together to God who is with us always.
Let us profess our faith.
Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,
creater of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
--bow down--
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried:
He descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Spirit:
the holy catholic church:
the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
