Elijah’s faith is tried as he witnesses a devasting wind, an earthquake, and a fire. After these, the Lord speaks to Elijah in a tiny whispering sound.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 85 (Truth and Justice) “Lord let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.”
2nd READING ROMANS 9:1-5 (Blessed Be God) Paul admits that grief is in his heart. He would even accept separation from Jesus if it would help his brothers and sisters who have been privileged to know the revelation of God through the ages. Blessed be God forever. THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 14: 22-23 (Jesus Walks on Water) Jesus feeds the crowds and then withdraws to pray. His disciples want to cross the lake, but a threatening storm arises. Jesus appears and Peter gets out of the boat to walk to him, but because Peter doubts, he begins to sink. Jesus saves him and admonishes him for his little faith. Then Jesus calms the storm.

For all who feel lost, afraid, or sinking in doubt, that they may hear Jesus calling out to them with the words "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid," and feel his steady hand lifting them up. For our local community and families, that we may learn to seek God not only in times of loud crisis, but also in the quiet, gentle whispers of daily life. For the Special Intentions of: Pope Leo XIV, Archbishop Thompson, and Father Brian. For the healing all who are sick. That God will answer all prayer requests & help all who are sick. For all who have died and for all other Mass intentions this weekend: Terry Stout, Jim Barrett, & Peggy Enteman. May they share in the resurrection.
