¡JESÚS NO MERECE MENOS! JESUS DOESN’T DESERVE LESS

IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE SUMMER —- In year’s past, it was customary for Roman Catholics attending Mass for the men to be dressed in suits, and women in dresses. Although this is no longer the custom, we must be modest in our attire attending Mass. Today, the dress code enforcement at St. Peter’s Basilica remains very, very strict. Absolutely no mini-skirts, no shorts, no tank tops, no hats. Even if you have lined up for hours and get through security, if your knees and shoulders are showing, you will not be allowed in! We do not require, like the Protestant churches, for men to wear suits and ties, and women dresses. Coming to Mass is not like dressing for the beach or going to a baseball game in t-shirts, shorts, or flip-flops.

Please be respectful and come to Mass dressed appropriately. Jesus does not deserve less!

RECORDATORIOS IMPORTANTES PARA EL VERANO ——- En años pasados, era costumbre que los católicos romanos asistieran a misa y los hombres estuvieran vestidos con traje y las mujeres con vesti-dos. Aunque esto ya no es la costumbre, debemos ser modestos en nues-tro vestimenta para asistir a misa. Hoy en día, la aplicación del código de vestimenta en la Basílica de San Pedro sigue siendo muy, muy estricta. Absolutamente nada de minifaldas, pantalones cortos, camisetas sin mangas, ni sombreros. Incluso si ha hecho fila durante horas y pasa por seguridad, si sus rodillas y hombros se ven, ¡no se le permitirá entrar! No requerimos, como las Iglesias protestantes, que los hombres usen traje y corbata, y las mujeres vestidos. Venir a misa no es como vestirse para la playa o ir a un partido de bèisbol con camisetas, y pantalones cor-tos o chancletas.

Por favor sea respetuoso y venga a misa vestido apropiadamente. ¡Jesús no se merece menos!!

In Job 38, the Lord declares his power to shut the sea’s doors and still its proud waves. In Psalm 107, he raises up a windstorm so that sailors cry to the Lord in their distress, and when he hushes the storm to a gentle breeze, the sailors rejoice and give thanks. Compare this to Mark 4, where the disciples “were filled with great awe” (more literally, they feared with a great fear) after Jesus stills their storm. The disciples’ terror is understandable. While the waves were crashing over their boat, their Lord and master slept peacefully in the stern. This is an evocative moment, echoing both Jonah (who also slept in a boat during a storm) and the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121.4). When the disciples wake Jesus, their plaintive cry is a prayer to a God who appears to be asleep in a storm: “Do you not care that we are perishing?” Jesus commands the sea to be still and then turns from rebuking the waves to gently rebuking his disciples’ lack of faith. He does not reveal his confidence that they will grow in faith. The disciples cannot yet answer the question “Who then is this?” It seems to wonderful and strange to be true, that their God might have just fallen asleep in the stern of their boat. By the end of Mark’s account of the Gospel, their fear will turn to joy as they realize Apostle Paul summarizes the remarkable truth that took the disciples a little longer to grasp: whoever is in Christ is a new creation. The whole creation, wind and waves and all, has been remade by the Incarnation and Resurrection of Christ and awaits its final glorious redemption. Have you ever prayed, “Lord, don’t you care that

we are perishing? What storm do you have in your life that you need

Christ to calm for you? What does it mean to live not for ourselves but for

Christ, who died for our sake and was raised (Second Reading)?
