[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus demonstrates his authority over nature
by walking on the sea.* *Water is, throughout the Scriptures, a symbol of
danger and chaos. At the very beginning of time, when all was a formless
waste, the Spirit of the Lord hovered over the surface of the waters. This
signals God’s lordship over all of the powers of darkness and disorder.*

*In the Old Testament, the Israelites are escaping from Egypt, and they
confront the waters of the Red Sea. Through the prayer of Moses, they are
able to walk through the midst of the waves. *

*Now in the New Testament*, *this same symbolism can be found*.* In all
four of the Gospels,*
*there is a version of this story of Jesus mastering the waves. The boat,
with Peter and the other disciples, is evocative of the Church, the
followers of Jesus. It moves through the waters, as the Church will move
through time.*

*All types of storms—chaos, corruption, stupidity, danger, persecution*—*will
inevitably arise.* *But Jesus comes walking on the sea*.
*This is meant to affirm his divinity: just as the Spirit of God hovered
over the waters at the beginning, so Jesus hovers over them now. *


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
