Be still and know that I am God. Silence is sacred. Silence speaks the language of the soul and is the foundation
of all life and eternity itself. Silence takes us beyond the limits of our minds and allows us to seek and to love
the essence of all love, perfect love, and being. In silence, we can be non�verbally present to things and to God
in ways that words cannot accomplish. We can discover, encounter, and be present to truths that our minds
struggle to conceive and then set aside the boxes we put around things when comprehending them is
challenging. We can know the unknowable and touch eternity when we encounter the core silence in our souls.�
�
We can do this even on a noisy street and in the midst of the greatest distraction. Once we have made friends
with silence, the rambling noise of the world no longer seems to matter, and we can carry a deep forgiving peace
within us, even when physical silence cannot be found. We know that we are loved, cared for, sustained,
nourished, embraced, and carried. There is nothing to fear in silence, and I can be present to myself in the same
way that God is present to me. I can see myself as God sees me. All of my faults, weaknesses, imperfections,
failings, and sinfulness melt away in the abundance of God’s mercy. All of the worldly things we see as being
important no longer are. �
�
It is in silence that all of the barriers that divide us disappear. There is no more “yours” and “mine” but only the
oneness of “ours.” There is no longer a need to “figure things out,” and we tap into our desire to simply let
things be. Silence is creative and powerful and gives us hope. Silence is God’s greatest blessing. God became
one with humanity in silence. It allows us to be one with all of creation, with the moon and the stars and all of
the creatures God has made. The smallest particle of creation radiates with beauty. Silence allows us to soar
beyond ourselves and connect in ways that the mind can only imagine. When all is quiet, we begin to see that it
is only our fear that keeps us from the Lord. It is our fear that causes us to sink and to fail. We can hear the
gentle whisper that tells us to reach for God’s hand. We discover that we yearn for the salvation and wholeness
that only God can give to us. Be still my soul and be at peace.�
First Reading: At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter. Then the LORD
said to him, “Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.” A strong
and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD�but the LORD was not in the
wind. After the wind there was an earthquake�but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake
there was fire�but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he
heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. �
�
Responsorial Psalm: Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation �
�
Second Reading: Brothers and sisters: I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins with the Holy
Spirit in bearing me witness that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I
myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh.
They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the
promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed
forever. Amen. �
�
Gospel: After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede him to the other side,
while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was
evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the
waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the
sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried
out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply,
“Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and
began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and,
beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught Peter, and
said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those
who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”�

“And behold I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20�
�
What are appropriate signs of reverence with respect to the Body and Blood of Christ?�
�
The Body and Blood of Christ present under the appearances of bread and wine are treated with the greatest
reverence both during and after the celebration of the Eucharist (cf. Mysterium Fidei, nos. 56�61). For example,
the tabernacle in which the consecrated bread is reserved is placed “in some part of the church or oratory which
is distinguished, conspicuous, beautifully decorated, and suitable for prayer” ( Code of Canon Law, Can. 938,
§2). According to the tradition of the Latin Church, one should genuflect in the presence of the tabernacle
containing the reserved sacrament. In the Eastern Catholic Churches, the traditional practice is to make the sign
of the cross and to bow profoundly. The liturgical gestures from both traditions reflect reverence, respect, and
adoration. It is appropriate for the members of the assembly to greet each other in the gathering space of the
church (that is, the vestibule or narthex), but it is not appropriate to speak in loud or boisterous tones in the
body of the church (that is, the nave) because of the presence of Christ in the tabernacle. Also, the Church
requires everyone to fast before receiving the Body and Blood of Christ as a sign of reverence and recollection
(unless illness prevents one from doing so). In the Latin Church, one must generally fast for at least one hour;
members of Eastern Catholic Churches must follow the practice established by their own Church.�

Lord Jesus, Who promised to remain with us always, when information overwhelms us and fear
overtakes us, speak to us again those comforting words, “Peace be with you.” Though we
cannot be physically close to others, give us the ability and courage to love as well as we can,
since “perfect love casts out all fear.” Direct your caring gaze on doctors and nurses, researchers
and safety personnel; come to strengthen the sick, the vulnerable, and comfort those who are
grief stricken. And when the pandemic has passed, and this frightening crisis is resolved, teach
us to know You more certainly as our dearest Friend and our only Hope. You live and reign
with the Father and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen. (offer one Our Father,
one Hail Mary, and the Glory be...) Our Lady, Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us. �
