Scripture Reflection 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time June 21, 2015 "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?" Incredible. Unbelievable. Miraculous. What a sight to behold. Could we ever doubt again that he was Lord of all creation after a moment like that? Well... maybe. In retrospect, we too often second-guess such episodes of spiritual clarity: In fact, it appears as though the disciples themselves were already struggling with forgetting the power of the signs they had previously seen. This is why Jesus reprimands them because of their fear, "Do you not yet have faith?" Why does Jesus expect them to have faith already? Because, as Mark's Gospel records for us, Jesus had already cured countless people, cast out demons for all to see, and even had a divine voice announce at his baptism, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased" (1:11). The miracles were not in short supply. Let's not fall prey to the same problem, thirsting for other miracles than the ones we have already experienced in our own lives. Let us join the psalmist in maintaining an attitude of belief, as we thank the Lord for "his wondrous deeds to the children of men."
