Storms come into our lives as suddenly as they arose on the Sea of Galilee, notorious event today for its unpredictable squalls. A doctor's visit often changes lives in minutes..."You have a mass in your lung and we must do a biopsy as soon as possible." "I'm sorry to report that your daughter was killed in a car accident this morning." An argument, a day when "everything turns to mud", we all know these and somehow have to dig deep into our inner resources, and, like the Apostles, despite our fears, see that Jesus is there in the midst of the upheaval telling us not to be afraid. (cf. Jn 6:21). The love of Jesus for us is so strong that it impels him to be there for us, and encourage us to turn to him, the one and only who can bring peace, perspective, acceptance and the trusting return of our love to him. He alone calms the storm, any storm; he is there in the midst of it, offering us his love and security.
