You're listening to the SSPX podcast.

This is a series of conferences given by Father Thomas Asher of the Society of St. Pies

the 10th on the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It's meant to be seen as a private retreat, a retreat that you can do while you're sheltering

in place or at your house, perhaps with some extra time.

Now here's Father Asher.

In today's meditation, we're going to be considering how our Lord calmed the storm when he was in the

boat with the apostles on the Sea of Galilee. And this incident is recounted for us by

Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It's a fairly short incident, only about maybe five or

six verses in each of the Gospels. And so I thought that perhaps we could actually go through

each of them. We'll focus mainly on Matthew, Matthew chapter 8, verse 23 to 27. But then I wanted

to look at Mark's Gospel, Chapter 4, and then Luke's Gospel,

Chapter 8, to pick up a few other details that might be beneficial for us.

So let's read together Matthew's Gospel again, chapter 8, verse 23 to 27.

And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him, and behold a great tempest arose in the sea so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.

And they came to him and awakened him, saying, Lord, save us, we perish. And Jesus said to them, why are you fearful, O ye of little faith?

Then rising up, he commanded the winds and the sea, and

there came a great calm. But the men wondered, saying, what manner of man is this for the winds

and the sea obey him? Verse 23. And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him.
