Ordinary Time 19

Plenty of people have been going through turbulent times. There are plenty of folks who can relate to the experience of the disciples in the boat. Just as Peter and the rest were being tossed about, there are many whose lives have been turned topsy-turvy by the economy, by illness, by unemployment, by war. Peter’s words to Jesus, “Lord, save me!” have certainly found their echo in many households in these troubled days. Our faith tells us that the Lord does indeed reach out to save us, even if we are not aware of it right away.
