Jesus, Master of situations.

In today's gospel, Jesus walks on the sea, agitated by wind and tornado. He calms the sea and comforts the fearful disciples. He shows us that, he is the Lord of creation and can overcome all dangers, and the natural world and including their rules.

When tormented by the situations of life, corruption, sexual scandal, tumultuous marriages, financial troubles, crisis in our vocations, in our religious and family communities, difficulties and tribulations of everyday life, family quarrels, land disputes, divisions within of the same family, same parish, or same nation, or tribalism and socio-political crisis, we must never lose sight of the presence of the Lord. He is ever present to help us.

Like the Apostles in the first reading, we must enter into prayer to discern the appropriate solutions for the resolution of our conflicts. We must get on our knees.

When we pray and trust God, even in the midst of crises, the number of believers continues to increase. There is no hopeless situation in Christ, Jesus.

He is risen alleluia
