Gospel text (Mk 4:35-41): On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
Reflection:
This Gospel talks about faith. Several times, as humans, we tend to loose faith in God especially during our darkest moments. Even the desciples of Jesus, also manifests small faith despite that they are with Jesus. Losing of faith is but normal. However, we need to trust God and make our faith stronger because we know how powerful God is. Jesus can command the seawaves and the wind, so, Jesus can also give us light during our darkest moments. He can always solve our problem by making our faith in God stronger. We must do our part and everything will be fine.
