Vihar na morju ...
V tako razburkanih časih kot so naši, je dobro, da nas božja beseda poučuje o smislu vsega in o božji moči, ki vodi svet in človeka. Toliko je skrivnosti in nedojemljivih stvari, ki bi jih mi, ko bi mogli, čisto drugače urejali, seveda po svoji omejeni človeški pameti. Kristjan se odpoveduje svojim samo človeškim pogledom. Vse skuša gledati s Kristusovimi očmi ter zaupa božji in Kristusovi moči.
Berilo iz Jobove knjige razmišlja o delovanju narave. Seveda govori s pesniškim jezikom. Saj ne gre za znanstveno razpravo, ampak za verski, božji vidik v stvarstvu. Želi nam zbuditi zaupanje v Stvarnika vesolja, ki ve za vse zakone in njihovo neizrekljivo sožitje. Kdo ne uživa v naravnih lepotah in presenetljivih vesoljs-kih obzorjih, ki se nam vedno znova odpirajo. Stvarstvo je čudovito lepo in razodeva nedosegljivega umetnika-Boga: »Dal sem mu za oblačilo oblačje,« pravi besedilo, »temne oblake za njegove plenice.« Veličastnost, skrivnostna urejenost -pred katero vedno znova ostrmeva znanost - in lepota stvarstva nam morata vzbuditi zaupanje ob misli na povzročitelja in urejevalca vsega tega, Boga, pa čeprav vedno manj vemo, ko vedno več odkrivamo. Kako ne bi potem Bog zmogel postavljati meja tudi zlu, če jih snòvi, pa čeprav nam ni to vedno očitno: »Tu se zlomi kljubovanje tvojih valov,« zaključuje berilo.
Po Kristusu odrešeni svet odkriva čisto nova obzorja smisla vsega in usmerjenosti k polnosti stvarstva. O njegovem vrhu, Kristusu, govori sv. Pavel v drugem berilu in pravi: »Kristusova ljubezen nas vnema.« Zakon vesolja, stvarstva, človeštva in odrešenja je ljubezen. Ljubezen je edina razlaga za vse. In če kdaj česa ne razumemo, vedimo, da je Bog bitje ljubezni in da je v Kristusu šel tako daleč v tej svoji ljubezni, da je postal eden od nas smrtnikov.
Kdo se ne spominja evangeljske pripovedi, tolikokrat tudi naslikane, o viharju na Genezareškem jezeru, ki ga je Jezus pomiril. Gospodar narave je bil brez skrbi. Nam ljudem pa manjka takih božjih in večnostnih pogledov. Takrat in še marsikdaj v zgodovini Cerkve je Kristus pomiril vihar. Včasih tako, da je bilo to dovolj očitno kot na Genezareškem jezeru, drugič je šele zgodovina pokazala na posebne božje posege. Zanimivo, da je Jezus apostolom že na začetku svojega delovanja očital pomanjkanje vere: »Kako da še nimate vere?« Bi rekel nam danes drugače?

NOVO HLAJEDNJE ZA ZGORNJO DVORANO
Od ponedeljka do četrtka so mojstri nameščali nove naprave za hlajenje zgornje dovrane. Do sedaj je delovalo še originalno hlajenje, ki je bilo instalirano po dokončanju zgornje dvorane v 70-tih letih. Pred časom so zamenjali kompresor, večkrat so popravljali, sedaj pa je bil čas, da smo vse temeljito obnovili; tako zunanjo enoto - eno smo zamenjali z dvema manjšima po »7.5 tons of cooling« - če se ena pokvari imamo vsaj polovico hlajenja - vse cevi, električno napeljavo in tudi notranji hladilnik (izmenjevalec), ki ga je bilo potrebno narediti po meri. Med delom smo ugotovili, da je bilo potrebno pošteno očistiti del grelnika, ki se je v 40 letih skoraj popolnoma prekril z umazanijo, da skoraj ni spuščal skozi zraka. Sedaj je vse to očiščeno - hvala Mirku Zorku, ki se je splazil noter in pošteno očistil. Sedaj smo tako preuredili, da se bo dalo redno čistiti.
Naprave so instalirali Black & McDonald, ki tudi vzdržujejo naše ostale naprave za gretje in hlajenje dvorane in cerkve že kar nekaj zadnjih let. Cena bo okrog 35 tisoč dolarjev plus davek.
12th Sunday in OT
Response:
Give thanks to the Lord; his steadfast love endures forever.
First Reading Job 38:1. 8-11
The creation is a mystery that shows the power of the Lord.
Second Reading 2 Corinthians 5:14-17
Through his death Christ has established a new creation.
Gospel Mark 4:35-41
Jesus sleeps while a storm threatens to overcome the boat he and his disciples are in. The disciples wake Jesus and he calms the storm, then he asks them why they were so afraid and did not have faith.
"Why are you so frightened?" Illustration
We often forget how difficult it was as a child to learn certain skills; for example, riding a bicycle. After years of cycling there may seem to be nothing to it. Yet if we develop a problem with our balance, cycling can become an impossible task. The same is true for life in general. A period of illness reminds us that even the most basic things we take for granted are not easy to achieve, and we wonder how we ever managed to do them.
In today's Gospel the disciples are caught in a boat by a storm. As the boat is thrown around we can imagine them wondering what gave them the confidence to go out on the lake. At first everything seemed easy, effortless, but in the midst of the storm their confidence was shattered. What did
they trust in, what gave them confidence, when they set out that evening in their boat?
Gospel Teaching
The disciples had forgotten that each time we set out on a journey it is an act of trust. When the journey is potentially hazardous, we need to trust that we will overcome the hazards to reach our destination. Were the disciples really thinking about the risks as they set out that evening in the small boat? Perhaps the presence of Jesus made them believe that nothing could harm them. Jesus sleeps through the storm, and we may be inclined, like the disciples, to ask if he did not care about the danger. Yet it would be wrong to think of Jesus here as removed from ordinary human cares and fears. Rather, Jesus is able to see the storm in a different light. He lives his life as one of constant trust in his heavenly Father, and when the storm blows up he places his trust completely in his Father. This is why he asks the disciples why they have no faith. The trust Jesus has in his Father does not mean he has no cares or fears, but he knows that no matter what happens to him in this life his Father will raise him to eternal life.
We might think that the disciples would have learned their lesson: to see the need to live each moment of life placing their trust in God, particularly when things are most desperate. Later in the Gos-
pel of Mark, at the time when Jesus is suffering his agony in the garden, it is the disciples who sleep whilst Jesus is assailed with fears. Here we see a reversal of today's Gospel. So are we to conclude that now it is the disciples who trust, whilst Jesus struggles? There is one crucial difference between the two accounts. Jesus sleeps because he trusts in his Father; however, the disciples sleep because they are oblivious to what is about to happen. If we lack trust in God, then either we live our lives in constant terror, or we find ways to blot out our fears. In most cases we swing between these two states: one minute overcome with fear, the next oblivious to the dangers around us. The disciples will awake from their sleep to the terrors of the crucifixion. But this will not be the end, for through his cross and resurrection Jesus will restore us to a relationship of trust with his Father.
Application
In his death on the cross Jesus Christ takes all our fears upon himself, and restores us to a relationship of trust in his Father. This does not mean we have no more fears, but it does enable us to live our lives with the assurance that the Father will raise up with his Son those who trust in him.
We can be like the disciples setting out in the boat. We can become oblivious to the fragility of life, to the risks that surround us. When something happens that throws us off balance we can become overwhelmed by fears. All we took for granted seems to be threatened, like a boat in a storm. At such times we are called to place our trust in God, but we cannot do this ourselves. It is Jesus Christ who enables us to trust in his Father. He takes our fears on himself, and brings us the hope of new life. This does not mean that our problems will be solved; rather, we know that no matter how desperate things become for us, Christ is with us and will never leave us.
Parish Council Update - Volunteer Organization and Reach Out Plan
Over the summer months, a member of the parish council will be calling parishioners and asking if you would volunteer for a future event. The first event is the fall banquet in September 27, and the number of volunteers needed will depend on the size of the event. An event leader (member of the parish council) will be responsible for letting the volunteers know what they will be doing; i.e. putting flyers on the cars, an announcement in the Vestnik, set up and cleanup of the hall.
Thank you to those who have already signed up to volunteer for future events and we look forward to talking to you soon.
