Gospel Reflection for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus Christ is the source of peace and tells us in today’s gospel to “not be afraid.” What are the personal storms that we find ourselves in, and are we able, in the midst of those storms, to see Jesus walking toward us and reassuring us with His presence? Let us bring to the Lord our burdens and spend time in prayer so that, like the disciples, we may experience the peace which Jesus brings.
