When the Disciples Start Moving . . . Jesus Meets Them. This is Characteristic of Discipleship

When the Disciples Start Moving . . . Jesus Meets Them. This is Characteristic of Discipleship The Homily begins with the gestures we make when the Gospel is proclaimed. Why do we make these gestures? What does the Church tell us? Listen to the beginning of the Homily. In today’s Gospel, the Apostles sail across the waters to Galilee. Jesus ascended the mountain to pray and was not with the disciples. The disciples leave, and Jesus is not with them, because they know they need to get to the other side. The Gospel story also tells us about what it is to follow Jesus sometimes. Jesus teaches all of us, including the disciples. He teaches what is right, so we all can just go and do it. Hear more within the Homily. The disciples sail to the other side of the waters. Its dark. Sometimes when we trust God, it’s like stepping out into the dark . . . because we do not know where we are going. The disciples sail out into the dark a few miles. As they move forward . . . doing what Jesus wants them to do . . . Jesus comes to them. The disciples see Him walking toward the boat . . . on top of the waters! When the disciples start moving . . . Jesus meets them. This is characteristic of discipleship. Hear more within the Homily. Understand the lesson for us! Listen to this Meditation Media.
