Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

With Jesus asleep although a storm threatened to sink their boat, frantic Disciples woke Him up to save them. When scribes regarded Jesus’ forgiveness of sins as blasphemy, He showed His authority by telling a paralytic to walk. Matthew, newly called as an Apostle, invited Jesus to a party among tax collectors and sinners. They needed Him! The Lord had foretold His Resurrection, but Thomas had to see Jesus to believe that He had Risen. When we feel cloaked in spiritual wanting, do we ask the Lord to patch things up or consider that He wants us to do something new?
