[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Aquinoi Szt Tamás ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in this wonderful story of the calming of the storm at sea, we
witness the spiritual dynamics of fear and trust. Making their way across
the lake, the disciples stand symbolically for all of us journeying through
life. When they confront the mighty waves, they are immediately filled with
terror. Similarly, when the trials and anxieties of life confront us, the
first reaction is fear. Jesus is “asleep on a cushion.” He stands for the
divine power that is “asleep” within all of us. He symbolizes that divine
energy which remains unaffected by the fear-storms generated by the
grasping ego.At a spiritual level, we see that this divine power
successfully calms the waves: “He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to
the sea, ‘Quiet! Be still!’”*
*This beautiful narrative suggests that if we but awaken to the presence of
Christ within us, then we can withstand even the most frightening storms.
When, at the close of the story, Jesus asked the bewildered disciples, “Why
are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” he is wondering why they
have not yet experienced the change of heart necessary for living in the
kingdom of God.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Amen.*
