Bob, thank you for this reflection … fear is the word in our minds. In the media’s of every nature. We live in a fearful, evil world. Every fear is available to all, old, young, and even babies. Jesus said, “Fear not for I have overcome the world.” Peter and the disciples saw Jesus and walked and were taught daily by Him. It is up to parents to “Tell me the stories of Jesus, I love to hear.” The church should teach doctrines, history, and show love and mercy to all.” To keep fear away, our hearts and minds should be on Jesus every moment and stay in the Light of Christ. In the darkness, evils will come forth along with many fears.
“COME” said our Lord Jesus, and I will give you “PEACE.”

Hey Bob,

Thought provoking reflection.

Did Peter have weak faith?

I don’t think so. He, after all, had enough courage and faith to actually take that first step out of the security of the boat. Jesus called, Peter went. Peter also had enough faith to ask for help when he needed it. Lessons we should all heed.

My two cents.

Mark

Great reflection Bob. However many times we don’t look at the whole picture which can cause fear and I will say satan loves it when we don’t look at the whole picture because that’s when he jumps in and does his best twisting he can do. It’s like this to my knowledge all the apostles were there even humble Saint Andrew and Saint John the one who our Heavenly Mother was given to us from the cross. We all have talents and states in life, Peter was the head of the Church became ultra humble in the end. Yes identify the fear, yes listen to Jesus but don’t think it’s over or partial or a one time happening then out. The listening is given to you to lead you to the whole message, this whole message includes all of us with our weaknesses and Jesus teaching us that Whether your the head of His church or not you still need me each minute of each day. That being said that’s my personal view and recognize my brothers and sisters and these brilliant people writing reflections as those of us together coping to get the whole picture “we need each other” the mystical body of christ. God bless
