This past week was the March For Life in Washington DC, so I thought I’d do a post on the subject of abortion…

Reactions to Storms

Leave a comment

In the Gospels, we read about a time when Jesus and His Apostles were in a boat on the water and a storm hit:

One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?”
