Grace Period - Week 5: Persevering with Hope

This week on Grace Period, Fr. Lou focuses on how we can persevere with hope when it seems like Christ is absent during our time of need.

We look to the Gospel of Mark, when a furious squall threatens to sink the disciples' boat as Jesus sleeps. 

Was Christ powerless against the squall? Did he not care?

Jesus was showing them (and us) what it's like to trust, even in a storm, that we have a God who has our lives—and all that happens within them—securely in hand.

The more we can allow this bedrock spiritual reality to settle into our souls, the more calm and hopeful we can be in the midst of life's storms.
