Summer has arrived and with it, unfortunately, the ever-present chance of summer storms. High winds, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and flash floods make these storms frightening and dangerous. The disciples were terrified when a violent squall came up while they were on the Sea of Galilee. But not Jesus. He rebuked the storm and calmed the waves. Even the forces of nature obeyed him.
Notice the language Mark uses in this passage. Jesus “rebuked the wind,” saying “Quiet be still.” After the seas were calmed the disciples asked each other, “Who then is this whom even the wind and sea obey?” Mark wrote earlier in Jesus’ ministry, when a man with an unclean spirit called out to him, “Quiet! Come out of him!” After the demon fled, the crowds said, “He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” Whether unclean spirits or violent storms, Jesus asserts his power, silences these sinister forces and makes them obey. May we turn to the Lord during the stormy periods of our own lives. May our faith give us comfort and courage, trusting his strength and his concern for us all.
Love, Peace, Joy,
Fr. Bob

Selling a home stretches beyond merely displaying a sell notice. Engaging a certified professional might ease the procedure, making sure a prompt deal at a favorable rate. Those specialists have deep insight of the real estate market, proficient at increasing attention and handling concerns, all while handling the required documentation.
