Save Us! ~ Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye

Readings for today's Homily

 

I suspect all of us can identify with the disciples in the boat.  Maybe in our little ship of life, the waves are crashing over us, and we think we’re going to perish so we yell to the Lord, “Save us!  Save us!” and he does.

While we might want to identify with those disciples, we might also hear the rebuke, “Oh ye of little faith.”  Maybe as we travel on this ship of life and are in some storms, we might exercise a sense of trust, a sense of belief that God is with us no matter how rocky it is getting, and to believe that really nothing is impossible with God.  It’s hard to believe that He was asleep in the boat that was so bad, but He was still in a tune with their needs.  May we be as such ourselves.
