  • June 21 2015 512045 for Rom
    Fr. Bob’s Briefs This past week, the priests of the Archdiocese gathered together for a Priest’s Day with Archbishop Cupich at Loyola University Lakeshore Campus. This was our first Priest’s Day with our new archbishop. On that day, the view of Lake Michigan was absolutely beautiful. The air was clear and crisp, so you could see very far away. Thin light clouds floated over a pristine blue sky. The lake itself was calm. Myriad shades of blue melted into one another as gently little waves rolled upon the rocks on the shore. Many priests walked toward the lakeshore to enjoy the quiet and serene view. We enjoyed the tranquil lake and clear skies because, living in Chicago, we know that the lake rarely looks like this. Lake Michigan looks very different most of the days. A lot of times, Lake Michigan looks more like the Sea of Galilee, which we hear in the Gospel today. From the Gospel of Mark, we hear today how Jesus and His disciples are in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. While on the water, a violent storm came upon them. Huge waves were breaking over the boat, and the boat was filling up with water and the Apostles were terrified with fear. All the while, Jesus is asleep in the boat. Ludolf Backhuyson (1630-1708) beautifully paints today’s gospel scene in his painting entitled, Christ in the Storm of Sea of Galilee, found in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Backhuyson was German born Dutch painter who became celebrated for his sea themed paintings, especially depicting rough seas.
