Today's Gospel dramatically that God will never forsake us. Jesus walks on water, Peter climbs out of the boat to greet him on the waters, gets edgy when the wind and waves make him realize where he's standing, he weakens and begins to sink. Jesus reaches out to him, grasps him by the hand and says to him, "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?" (Mt 14: 32) How many times could Jesus have asked us the same question, when doubt creeps its way into our thoughts no matter how many times we've been so reassured by his care that we say, "I'll never doubt again!"? Perhaps this morning's reflection on God's promise shown to us in the saving of Peter will convince us once and for all that there is no room for doubt in the life of a disciple...and if not this time, then the next, or the next, or the next...until we really live in the belief that he will never forsake us.
