After feeding the Five Thousand, Jesus “…made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds” (Matthew 14:22). Christ left to pray, and by night, the small boat was in a storm. In this Sunday’s Gospel, St. Matthew tells us how“…he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’… But immediately he spoke to them, saying, ‘Take heart, it is I; have no fear.’And Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.’
