This story follows directly after the miracles of the loaves and fishes. In that story, we recall that Jesus’ effort to go to a quiet place to pray was
interrupted by the crowds. So after his long day of teaching the multitudes, he heads off to the mountain for quiet time. In the meantime, the disciples get into a boat and head out to sea. But, suddenly, a big storm erupts and they become very frightened. Then without invitation, Jesus comes towards them. At first, they think he is a ghost. Jesus tells them to ‘take courage’ as they confront a big storm. Peter asks if he can come to Jesus walking on the water, something that takes a lot of courage. As long as Peter keeps his eyes on Jesus, he does well, but once he focuses on the storm, he starts to sink. Jesus comes to Peter’s aid and takes his hand. Our constant challenge,
especially in times of fear, is to put our hand in the hand of Jesus. Jesus
saves his frightened friend and rebukes him for his ‘little faith.’ Recognizing Jesus’ power over nature, the disciples worship him saying: “Truly you are the Son of God.” Writing his Gospel many decades later, Matthew applies
the incident to his congregation. The disciples in the boat represent the
infant church. The stormy winds represent the fierce persecution of the
early church. While Jesus is not with them physically, he is present spiritually. When all seems lost, Jesus shows up. The part of the story where Peter walks on water and then sinks could refer to Peter’s lapse of faith during the
passion and his restoration by Jesus after the Resurrection. It is also
symbolic of how any of us could start out courageously and then falter
when the storm or crisis comes our way.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. RANDY
A week from this Saturday, August 15, is a holy day. It is the day we celebrate the Assumption of Mary each year. This is one of the holy days that when it falls on a Saturday or a Monday, is not obligatory. So, the holy day this year is not one on which we are obliged to attend mass. I will still offer mass for those who choose to still observe the Assumption. We will have mass for the Assumption on Friday, August 14, of this coming week at 6:00 pm. I haven’t heard exactly what the plans are, but I know the Picnic Committee met again this past Monday. I can tell you that they are planning to have drive through service for food and to have a virtual raffle. I’m confident they have things thought out well and I’ll pass along details as I know them. There isn’t much else going on these days in the parish. Things continue to go at a slower pace in these times of COVID19. Debates continue about the best approach to dealing with the virus, but I don’t care to get into that. We will continue to follow whatever guidelines we receive from Bishop Medley. Many continue to stay away from mass but slowly some are returning. Perhaps some are contemplating when to return to mass. Each person does have to determine that for themself but I would say that if we’re going to other places like stores and the ballpark, why not come to mass? I would also add that the longer a person stays away from mass then the more of a habit it becomes, and the harder it gets to come back. Food for thought… Fr. Randy
