Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Why is it that you are
so frightened? How is it that you have
no faith?" Over the past
few years the Church has been going
through a fierce storm. It has been
a time of anxiety and worry for many.
It has also been a time of deep hurt
and anger for others. And there seems
to be no end to it. The word of Jesus
today is very timely for us. Even though
the storm is real and we have to face
the reality of it with all its implications,
we have to remember that Christ is with
us and he will bring calm again. However,
this does not mean that we do nothing
but wait. We have a real responsibility
to work for that calm by the ways we
love one another in our homes and in
our community. This will take a lot
of generosity with our time and our
talents in building marriage and family
life to their fullest and it will take
a new commitment to building the parish
as a community of faith and hope.
