ENCOUNTER CHRIST
Today we see Jesus challenging the faith of his disciples again. Much like the disciples, we can find ourselves in a boat on stormy seas in our lives. Perhaps we are struggling at work, in school, or in our family life - we can feel the evil one tugging us away from Jesus. When we allow ourselves to be still and let Jesus calm our storms, we can experience the awe that only he can create. Faith is an entirely free gift that God gives to us - allow yourself to relate to him with confidence, trust, and reliance.

ENCOUNTER CHRIST We are called to let go of fear and put our lives in Christ’s hands, to believe that his power will carry us through. It can be a scary proposition, but each time we surrender it prepares and strengthens us for our salvation. Faith is not fragile, it is filled with the awesome strength of the Holy Spirit that comes through our trust in Christ. Jesus’ goodness and spirit is in every step we take. He always walks with us on this faith journey which is far better than any journey we can have without him.

ENCOUNTER CHRIST Today we hear Mark recount the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper. When we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus, we are united in and become the Body of Christ, the hands and feet of Jesus. Jesus asks us to work together as we receive this sacrifice, to allow others in our lives to experience his love, his mercy, and his forgiveness. Partaking in the Holy Eucharist gives us grace, deepens our relationship with Jesus, and allows us to see him and others around us more clearly in order that all may be united in him.

ENCOUNTER CHRIST As we celebrate the Holy Trinity this weekend, we remember that our trinitarian God is a community of love and persons. The Trinity is a community held together by containing diversity within itself. This mystery of the Holy Trinity, which is a model relationship, urges us to constantly strive for unity, peace, and love within our hearts, families, and communities. We are meant to put this relationship into action in our own lives, and in doing so we come to know the mystery by our own experience of peace, love, and unity.
