St. Irenaeus

Jesus got into a boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" He said to them, "Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?" (Matthew 8: 23-27)

The disciples should have known that if He was with them they would be safe. Maybe we are like this when we go to Mass and Jesus is present in the Eucharist but we act as if He wasn’t there at all.

Jesus, please strengthen my faith.
