In these unstable days of doubt and disruption, the demon of FEAR is bound to creep in. "What if's face us at every turn; we are not accustomed to live with so much uncertainty. Yet it plagues us daily. Our Gospel passage can help us as we see the boat carrying the apostles caught in a storm and Jesus walking on the water in the midst of the high winds, rain and rocking waves. A cause for fear, to say the least. Peter ventures forth, as commanded by Jesus, to walk on the stormy waters, but FEAR takes over and he begins to sink. Jesus saves him, but upraids him for his lack of faith. He must be ready to do the same for us, as we allow fear of the present and future to stymie us. May we learn as Peter did that with Jesus no storm nor challenging situation can overpower us. Let us pray over today's Gospel (Mt 14: 12-16) and find the strength and the faith to deal with the storms in our lives.
