- 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time - Bulletin Shorts, free to use
Mass Readings | The Raging Storm. Like the disciples today, we can feel as if we are in a small boat, on a deep lake, far from shore, in a raging storm. It seems like Jesus is sleeping through it all. But we know and believe, deep in our hearts, he is not. He is with us. He is in control – in his time and way.- What is raging around me that is seeming to threaten me?
- How will I turn to Jesus, even in a chiding way like the apostles, for help?
- How can I, whom can I help as I have been helped?

- The Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24) - Bulletin Shorts
Mass Readings | Children are Great Treasures. The readings on this birthday of John the Baptist show delight at his coming. Isn’t that true of our own experiences? Don’t we love and cherish the children we have and know?- What child needs my affection? Every one. So, what will I do for at least one today?

- Kids Resources: 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time
- Read Mark 4:35-41: Jesus and the apostles are in a boat when a great storm arises. Jesus continues to sleep through it! The fearful apostles wake him, and at once Jesus calms the wind and sea. Asking the apostles why they are lacking in faith, their mood switches from terror to awe. How did the apostles feel when the storm breaks out? When have you asked Jesus for help in your life?
