SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION (August 10, 2014) Matthew 14, 22-33 Jesus taught His disciples the value of faith when He walked on the water and calmed the angry sea. In fact, Peter, filled with faith, also walked on the water, but soon began to sink when he became terrified, leading Jesus to say, “O, you of little faith, why did you doubt?” The Lord asks each one of us today: “My child, how deep, how real, is your faith in Me?” We all encounter turbulence as we journey on. Life is not and cannot be storm-free. But we also must believe that all storms will pass. Our tears and fears are not permanent, and we are not cursed to suffer in this life. We believe that all will be well in the end. The faith factor in our lives is something we should not neglect or belittle. Whatever storms we go through in life—sickness, goodbyes, separations, persecutions, humiliations, poverty, deprivations—all these will not separate us from the love of God (Rom. 8, 35). May we see and experience God’s power and constant love, especially when the tempest is most severe, and may we hear the Lord telling us through it all: “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Video: The Bible Series
