Calm Waves

Paul A. Lynch

The following story is taken from St. Matthew 14:22-33.  
"The Miracle of the Storm: Jesus Walks on Water" 
In the ancient land of Galilee, nestled amidst the rolling hills and shimmering waters, there lived a community of fishermen whose lives were intertwined with the ebb and flow of the sea. Among them was Simon Peter, a seasoned fisherman whose faith would be tested in ways he could scarcely imagine. 
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the sky turned shades of crimson and gold, Jesus, the beloved teacher and healer, instructed his disciples to embark on a journey across the Sea of Galilee. "Go ahead of me to the other side," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "I will join you later." 
Eager to fulfill their Master's command, the disciples set sail in their fishing boat, their hearts buoyed by the promise of his presence. But as they journeyed across the dark expanse of the sea, a sudden storm arose, its fierce winds and crashing waves threatening to capsize their fragile vessel.
