Mark 6:49-51

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mark 6:49-51
About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them. But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were (completely) astounded.

Reflection
The gospel reminds us that in every storm that we encounter in our lives, we need to put our trust in God, for He is always with us. We must trust Him for His plans will lead us to the fulfilment of our mission. Now, let us ask ourselves, how did we experience God in the greatest risk that we have taken?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “…the communion in mission is a spirit that allows one to trust one another…” As Lasallians, we should learn to be responsive to the needs of others. Let us become tangible signs of the presence of God here on earth. Let the challenges we experience in our lives strengthen us and lead us closer to God.
