This world is so full of trouble, and our own lives are, too. Yet God remains ever present to us, in a quiet, calm way, like when Elijah senses a soft voice that is God's presence, after a violent wind, earthquake, and fire.
In the midst of rough waters on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus comes to be present to His disciples in the boat, summoning forth their courage against fear, and the doubt that He was walking toward them.
We learn to recognize this presence manifest in a sense of calmness, and reach out by faith, beyond our fears, to embrace it. We see that our loving God desires to grant us salvation, through Jesus Christ, manifested first in the Jewish people, as St. Paul writes of so gloriously.
