to the boat. They were frightened, but he said to them, “It is I! Don’t be afraid!” They wanted to take him into the boat, but immediately the boat
was at the shore to which they were going.
Reflection:
Every time Jesus appears, He always dispels our fears. That is why spiritual
masters always point out that peace, which is a condition where nothing
unsettles, is a sure sign of God’s presence. In this gospel, Jesus calms all that
terrorizes the disciples. The chaos around subsided, and the flimsy boat that carries
them on the turbulent waters suddenly docked ashore. Our journey in life
may be sometimes rough and laden with terror. But Jesus comes at a proper
time to help us reach the safety of the shores if we but allow Him.
