This Sunday, the Lord strengthens our faith in him by inviting us to reflect on the fruits of his saving presence. We live in a world full of violence and dangers that often make us feel as if we are about to sink. But with Jesus by our side and holding us firmly by the hand, nothing should frighten us, for he is the source of our salvation and peace. This certainty should accompany us both as individuals and as Church, no matter how uncertain or stormy the times may be. At no other moment is the Lord nearer to us than during the celebration of the Eucharist when he speaks to us in the Liturgy of the Word and gives himself to us in Holy Communion. Let us reawaken our faith to this wonderful reality as we are about to start our Eucharistic celebration. Euchalette

1st Reading: 1Kgs 19:9, 11-13 Persecuted because of his faithfulness to his
prophetic mission, Elijah had a unique experience of the Lord’s consoling presence
at the entrance of a cave on Mount Horeb. After such an experience, he felt strong
enough to resume fighting the battles of God.
2nd Reading: Rom 9:1-5 In a rare moment of self-revelation, the apostle Paul
manifests to his readers the great pain he is suffering because the Israelites persist
in rejecting Jesus as the Messiah of God.
Gospel: Mt 14:22-33 The presence of Jesus makes all the difference in the life of the
Church and of all those who put their trust in him. This is verified especially in
moments of danger. Such is the message of the account of what happened on a
stormy night at the Lake of Gennesaret.
