"Why are you afraid?" Mark 4:40.
That's what Jesus asks us when things get scary. When we say to him, Don't you care? Waves break over the bow! Water's filling our boat! We're dying! Don't you care? Yeah. So. The awakened Lord of the skies commands the air, Hush!; the Lord of the seas orders the waters, Shush! And they obey him suddenly, a great calm. That's when Jesus says to us: Don't you have faith yet? Oh, indeed, with even greater fear we ask, Who is this who's in the boat with us?
We meet with a brother or sister today calmed in our hearts from life's storms because Jesus sleeps among us. And, together, we give thanks that all creation knows its Creator.
