"If you have ever been on a small boat, or even a large ship, in very rough waters, you know it is no fun. You can identify with the disciples, who are terrified, thinking that they are going to sink. How Jesus can sleep through all of this I have never quite understood. They go to him and he saves them.
Its' a great parable, or allegory, of life itself; that sometimes life gets a little rough. It gets a little turbulent and we are not quite sure we are going to survive the turmoil or the trial.
The lesson here is to turn ourselves over to the Lord; to trust in His care and His unconditional love for us. If the storms come up in your lives, wake up Christ."
Monsignor Daniel Hoye
