We begin the month of July with the Gospel story of the storm on the lake and a sleepy Jesus, totally unconcerned as opposed to his frantic disciples who awaken him and plead for his help. He chides them for their lack of faith and calms the furious storm. They reply, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?" (Mt 8:27). The disciples still had a lot to learn about their Master. Are we not like them, in near panic stage over the smallest things? Do we still not know "what sort of man this is."? Perhaps it's a life long lesson, but we can make daily progress by spending time with Jesus quietly and asking him to reveal himself more and more. If he can calm the wind and sea, can he not show who he is and calm to storms within us? Let this be the focus of our prayer during this new month.
