WALKING WITH THE LORD | The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (August 13, 2023)
We are on the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Today's Gospel narrates an event after the miraculous multiplication of five barley loaves and two fish that fed about 5,000 men, not counting women and children.
St. Matthew tells us that after this, Jesus asked his disciples to get into the boat and precede him to the other side of the sea.
Then he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. Far from shore, the boat of the disciples was tossed by the wind and waves.
The Lord came toward them, walking on the sea. They thought it was a ghost. So Peter said, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water. Peter was indeed able to walk on the water toward Jesus, but the strong wind frightened him, and he sank.
Friends, winds and waves will come, but let us learn from Peter's experience.
Keep our eyes fixed on the Lord. As we travel on stormy seas, and even when sinking, cry out to Jesus, Lord, save me, save me from my little faith.
