“When the devil has failed in making a man fall, he puts forward all his energies to create distrust between the penitent and the confessor, and so by little and little he gains his end at last.” — St Philip Neri

Gospel – Mk 4:35-41

35. And on that day, when evening had arrived, he said to them, “Let us cross over.”
36. And dismissing the crowd, they brought him, so that he was in one boat, and other boats were with him.
37. And a great wind storm occurred, and the waves broke over the boat, so that the boat was being filled.
38. And he was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, does it not concern you that we are perishing?”
39. And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and he said to the sea: “Silence. Be stilled.” And the wind ceased. And a great tranquility occurred.
40. And he said to them: “Why are you afraid? Do you still lack faith?” And they were struck with a great fear.
41. And they said to one another, “Who do you think this is, that both wind and sea obey him?”

“As Christians we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, but as Christians we must also stand up for what we believe and always be ready to fight for the Faith. The days in which we live now require heroic Catholicism, not casual Catholicism. We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead be Catholics by conviction.”
