PRAYING THE PSALMS
Many are unaware that the 150 Psalms tell a story, an experience, an outpouring of mixed emotions awaiting to be heard and retold many times so that the hidden meaning is unveiled. It is not surprising then that our Lord Jesus Christ prayed the psalms, memorized them and taught his followers to do the same.
In this section, Msgr James will guide us each week through the Psalms recited in our Everyday prayer (Divine Office) so that we can place ourselves in the unfolding of the events and move our very being to draw closer to God! Each week on Monday beginning 14 June 2021, a psalm will be posted under our Spirituality section to help you in understanding the psalms.

12th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YR B
Daniel Yeoh
JESUS CONQUERS OUR STORM
Daily, we are flooded by numerous storms, within us and outside of us. The storm that we are experiencing at this moment is a huge storm, the Covid-19 pandemic. Many people are suffering and dying globally and are seeking God's help.
The disciples of Jesus were seasoned fishermen and would have encountered many heavy storms during their fishing trips. Having spent a lot of time with Jesus, following Him everywhere and witnessing all the miracles that He had performed, they still lacked faith in Jesus but allowed fear to grip them believing that they would drown in the storm. Jesus rebuked His disciples for their weak faith, but he didn’t abandon them nor let them drown. Instead, He calmed the storm and continued to reveal His Divinity to them and demonstrated what it was to have faith in Him.
With our past history of plagues, epidemics and pandemics, our scientists and researchers ought to have been well-prepared for yet another pandemic like COVID-19. But it doesn’t appear that way as nation after nation goes into lockdown while people are dying in great numbers. The same fear and panic that hit the disciples now looms dangerously over us.
In the first reading God is giving an answer to Job who had been asking God why he was keeping silent in the face of such affliction. God declares his omnipotent power over the sea and the waves. Obviously, his powers could heal Job. We only need to call upon Him and He will calm the storm for us. Psalm 107:28-29 is reassuring, “They cried out to the God in their distress, he rescued them from their plight. He reduced the storm to a calm, and all the waters subsided.”
Similarly whenever we are troubled and worries seem to overcome us, we should turn to Jesus and have faith in Him that He will help us to overcome our challenges and problems because His unending mercy endures forever . After all, Jesus is Emmanuel “God is with us” and He will surely calm all the raging storms in our life.
