story at the heart of our Gospel for today is <b><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)">the storm at sea</span></b>. Karl
Barth said that <b><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)">the stormy waters </span></b><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">in all of these cases </span><b><span style="background-color:rgb(217,234,211)">stands fo</span></b>r <b><span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><i>das Nichtige</i>,

intentions—</span><span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)">difficulties both interior and exterior, difficulties
physical, psychological, and spiritual. </span></b></font></p>

making its way through</span><span style="background-color:rgb(217,234,211)"> time and space</span></b>. And those waters are symbolic of
everything that besets the members of the Church. To stay within the
emotional space of the story, <b><span style="background-color:rgb(207,226,243)">this must have been an awful storm to have
terrified experienced sailors. </span></b>This is no small problem, no minor
difficulty.</font></p>
