Saturday of the 3rd Week of Ordinary Time – Homilies of Mons. Munilla

This Saturday’s Gospel collects the episode of the calm storm a strong storm was built and the waves broke against the boat until almost filling it with water, he was in the sleeping stern on a head foot rebuked the wind and said silently the wind ceased and a great calm came in the opportunities in which I have been able to be on the Holy Land accompanying the pilgrims we have always tried to do in that Lake Tiberíades an hourly hour there with a rise in a rise in A boat in the middle of the lake have read this episode and obviously also has an app spiritual location in our life because that storm is evoking the interior storms of our life spiritual disturbances sometimes seem to us that all temptations are unleashed in us World the demon the flesh does not engulf us comes to mind that in the book of the confessions of St. Augustine he also tells us the interior fights the resistance that he experienced to his desire for conversion says the mundane customs and my pleasures assaulted and shouted me how you will live without us, because that strong resistance to conversion then San Agustín found peace saying, they have also been able to change so many men and women you can not do it too your Augustine and thus he was overcoming those moments of disturbance so strong Not that sleeping Jesus this Jesus sleeping in the boat is a symbol of our desolation of the moments in which we are afraid that it seems to us that we cannot in front of the temptations but that Jesus who stands up and orders to shut up in the wind And to the sea it is the symbol of active grace that there are moments in which God gives us the grace tiva to overcome to overcome temptations but eye Jesus is always with us even when it seemed that the moment was asleep that I experienced we felt desolation He was also with us we are called to make an act of faith that the grace of Christ will never leave us hand in hand He is always with us is the one to whom the wind and the sea obey that we also experience the active tomb of their grace that allows us to get victorious in all the blessing of the Almighty God Father and Holy Spirit descends on you
