Short Reflection for the 19th Sunday of the Ordinary Time (A)
Readings: 1 Kings 19: 9. 11-13; Romans 9: 1-5; Matthew 14: 22-33
Selected Passage: 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." (Matthew 14: 26-27)
Meditation: When we find ourselves in turbulent waters or when we are afraid, Jesus also appears to us in various ways telling us: “take courage, it is I and do not be afraid.”
Courage is one of the gifts of the Spirit. For us to receive this gift, we need to TRUST the Lord. It is believing with our heart that whatever happens and whatever the challenge, the Lord is there at our side and he shares the load so we can dispel our fear, because with him we can carry our cross, too.
