I thought of this today after going to Mass and hearing the reading of Jesus calming the storm. :)

THEN the evening came, after teaching all day by the sea and in the house, Jesus saw that the crowds of people were still pressing around him, and there was no time for him to rest. Jesus said, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.”

So they took Jesus into the boat, and began to row across the Sea of Galilee. Other little boats were with them, for many wished to go with Jesus. While they were rowing, Jesus fell asleep, resting on a cushion of the boat. Suddenly a storm arose, and drove great waves of water into the boat, so that it was in danger of sinking, but Jesus slept on. The disciples awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are lost! Help us, or we shall perish!”

Jesus awaked, and rose up, and looked out upon the sea. He said to the waves, “Peace, be still!” And at once the wind ceased, the waves were quiet, and there was a great calm. Jesus said to his disciples, “Why are you afraid? How is it that you have so little faith in me?”

They all wondered at Jesus’ power, and said to each other, “Who is this man whom even the winds and the sea obey?”
