"Last Sunday, the Gospel proclaimed throughout the Church told the familiar story of Jesus calming the storms and taming the sea. However, the image that intrigued me was the important detail that 'Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.' (Mark 4:38). In the story, the apostles (and the readers) wonder why Jesus was resting instead of acting. They are confused as to why the miracle worker was not at work. The teacher, the man of faith seemed to be silent. The close friends of Jesus call out 'Teacher, do you not care!'"
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on the importance of rest, including, during these summer months, taking time to "unwind, chill out, and be at peace."
