As the disciples in today’s gospel discover, no matter how turbulent or crazy our lives become, Jesus can bring calm and sanity. The really wonderful thing, Fr Greg notes, is that Jesus is always in our boat.
[God] was mindful of Abraham by sending Lot away from the upheaval by which [He] overthrew the cities where Lot had been living..
GN 19:15-29
[Jesus] said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
MT 8:23-27
