Jesus' presence to those of little faith - 19th Sunday of the Year, Year A

Published: Aug. 9, 2023, 12:05 a.m.

Jesus' presence to those of little faith: One of the most evocative Gospel stories follows immediately upon the multiplication of the loaves and fish. Jesus, after a moment with his Father, alone on the mountain, comes out of the darkness to his disciples who struggle with the stormy sea but they do not recognise him.After he reveals himself, Peter responds to his summons to come across the sea, but he falters. Peter has faith, but only a little. He needs to be held and saved by Jesus, who is indeed the Son of God. This experience is part of Christian experience across the centuries. We are called to him, but can only make that journey when he takes us by the hand.

Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for the 19th Sunday of the year, Year A.
