"Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?"

Dear Family of Mary!

Matthew 8:23-27
As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" He said to them, "Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?"
We see in this Gospel that the disciples had very little faith. They had not as yet realized the power that lay hidden in Jesus. At least they knew enough to wake Him up!! And they soon learned how great His power was!
I am sure that Our Lady recognizes the same lack of faith in us! We are like the disciples who had no idea who Jesus really was! We, too, need an awakening of faith. Her presence with us in Medjugorje is a great help in understanding the great power of Her Son! Miracles abound in Medjugorje precisely because Our Lady is awakening deep faith in Her children, and that faith calls out to the Lord to answer with His power and love!
Mother Mary spoke these words to us:
August 25, 2002 "Dear children! Also today I am with you in prayer so that God gives you an even stronger faith. Little children, your faith is small and you are not even aware how much, despite this, you are not ready to seek the gift of faith from God. That is why I am with you, little children, to help you comprehend my messages and put them into life. Pray, pray, pray and only in faith and through prayer your soul will find peace and the world will find joy to be with God. Thank you for having responded to my call."(August 25, 2002)
Indeed, we need Our Lady's help to seek the gift of faith from God. Let's ask her in prayer today to intercede for us with the Lord, that we can receive a deeper faith. We need that deep faith in order to follow Jesus, witness to His power and love, and help others to find their own faith! "Pray, pray, pray and only in faith and through prayer your soul will find peace and the world will find joy to be with God."
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
