Dedication of the Basilica of STS. Peter and Paul –
In the storms of life which we encounter, may we be humble and grateful enough to see the hand of Christ reaching out to us. This gospel is a story of fear and faith. It begins with the disciples crying out in fear and it ends with the disciples confessing their faith in Jesus as the Son of God. And this is and will be the same for all of us because of the words the disciples heard: “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.”
