The disciples woke him up and cried, “Lord save us! We are lost!” But Jesus answered, “Why are you
so afraid, you of little faith?” Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and sea; and it became completely calm.

The disciples were astonished. They said, “What kind ofman is he? Even the winds and the sea obey him.”

Reflection:

Let’s debate:
I say: “Who wouldn’t be afraid in such storm? Weren’t th edisciples human?”
You say: “But Jesus is in the boat with the disciples. Why be afraid?”
I say: “But He is asleep. How does he know?”
You say: Is it not written, “I slept,but my heart was awake”? (Song 5:2)
I say: “Then he should have done something.”
You say: “He is the Word that created the world!”
I say: “But in sleep, isn’t the Word silent?”

Men of little faith! Why did they doubt? At the end of itall, everything turned out tobe a mere storm in a tea cup
(or tempest in a tea pot, if you prefer.). For, even in his sleep,he knows; even in his silence, he commands.
We can rest assured.
