Word of the Day Mk 4, 35-41
Saturday January 29
All day
Jesus spoke in parables to the crowd.
the evening, he told his disciples:
"Passing on the" other side. "
Leaving the crowd,
they take Jesus into the boat,
as he was;
and other boats followed him.
Occurs a violent storm.
The waves beat on the boat,
so that was already filling with water.
He slept on the cushion at the rear.
His companions wake up and cry to him:
"Master, we perish
it does not bother you? "
Awakened, he calls the wind, and eagerly said to the sea:
" Hush, hush! "
The wind fell,
and there was a great calm.
Jesus said unto them
"Why be afraid?
How is it that you did not have faith? "
Seized with fear,
they said among themselves:
"Who is he,
that even wind and sea obey him? "

How many times a day we spend on the other side! Our days are well made, moving from one activity to another, from one meeting to another ... Amount in our boat, we sail to the rhythm of time in the recitation of the passing hours ... Is Jesus in the boat? For some, yes, who from the lift to make this their thinking and their heart in prayer. But the realities of an absorbing experience can go to sleep ... For others, not. This does not prevent not be present, but they are not aware: "he sleeps" ! Then the worries arrive with their lots of anxiety: problem, perhaps, relationship, marital, work, car, health, et cetera: "the waves threw the boat on which filled with water " . The water of bitterness and ill-being ... Only throat tied to weather the storm!
Yet it is "someone" who could help ... but he sleeps, because it is allowed to sleep, too busy with our anxieties. Wake him! Not that a magic wand it will change the pumpkin carriage, but it will take us with the stark reality of our existence, we will proceed to the Peace: "the wind ceased and there was a great calm" .. . and making us to hope, give us the strength, wisdom and discernment that we need. Listen to the prayer of Solomon: "I spoke to the Lord and prayed, and I say with all my heart: 'Give me the wisdom ... for me it just seconds and she with me ... knows and understands everything. She guides me safely in my actions and protect me ... ' " And that cry of the heart: " Send it! " (Wis 9, 4.. 10 11) This wisdom is coming and it is there, It was incarnated in Jesus who continues to walk with us ... For us not to leave his hand and to open our hearts and our lives!
