FROM THE DESK OF THE DEACON

Dear Family in the Lord,

Oftentimes, the Bible gives us wonderful imagery—imagery For those who were married which can help us to understand and make sense of our own Dr. Rustin Lovewell and Dr. Eleanor Clancy-Thompson experiences in life, especially when we are faced by challenges or Francois Nyamikita and Bijoux Bahati doubts. Our beloved dead Today’s readings are no exception. In the gospel, we hear the Kathleen Clarke familiar story of the calming of the sea. As Jesus and the disciples Ronald A. Morse, II cross the sea in a boat, the clouds open up and they run into a Our parish seminarians violent storm. The waves are tossing the boat around, and the boat Ryan Amazeen, Michael Hennessy nearly sinks as it takes on water. The disciples are panicking as they near death, especially because Jesus is asleep! They wake Our service men and women him up, almost chiding him for not saving them sooner. He Angela Averill, Roland Boisvert, III, Randy Donaldson, immediately commands the sea to be still and then questions their Jeffrey Michael Fredette, Travis Gelinas, Michael Haas, faith. Stefan Kammer, Richard LaSalle, Collin Locker, Matthew Lodge, Monique Martineau, Matt Mullett, This story is a great metaphor of our own Christian life. So often Kyle Pelletier, Christopher Prunier, David Vallauri, as we cross the sea of life in our boats, we are met with challenges Elizabeth Wagner, Richard Wagner, Thomas Wagner, and storms. We experience suffering—either ourselves or with Timothy Wagner, Ryan Williams our loved ones. We experience loss. We may be ridiculed for our beliefs, even by our own family and friends. We may question Our sick what God’s plan is for our lives. All throughout our life, we run David Bilodeau, Ed Blais, Ethan Brown, Kevin Brown, into different storms, and sometimes—or many times—we wonder Anne Foye Campaiola, Dominick Ceppetelli, Riley Crowder, why the Lord is sleeping. Paul DesRochers, William Deveau, Kathy Dion, Roger Drolet, Jaxson Field, Norah Lynne Frank, Anet Garneau, Mary Gavin, The gospel challenges us today to renew our trust in the Lord, who Richard Groux, Patrick Joyce, Christine Labrecque, Nancy Lorenz, is truly in control of everything. When we are tempted to say Frances McEneny, Helene Nya, Margaret Mary Luckers, “Lord, why are you letting us perish? Why are you sleeping?” we Judith Maurer, John Meehan, Lee Morin, Joseph O’Sullivan, should ask ourselves if our own faith is failing us—because God June Prunier, Roger Prunier, Megan Ross, Dolores St. Pierre, never abandons us! He is always in charge, no matter how distant Richard Walas, Abigail Yeomans from us he may seem.

As we go about the week, the gospel presents us with some questions we may want to ask ourselves. They are questions ELCOME which help us assess our own faith in God’s loving Providence: W

What are my deepest fears? What are those aspects of my life where I lack trust in God the most?

The Cathedral is a vibrant and joyful own sinfulness. Perhaps it’s a situation in our family that we’d community of people who gather to worship God, to learn, and to rather ignore. Very often we ignore things because we lack trust be inspired by our fellowship in Christ to make God’s love a in God that he will give us the grace to deal with them!
