Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

"Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love."

What Jesus doesn’t say

Today’s Gospel is the story of Jesus walking on the water. With Peter trying to walk on the water. And failing.

So, Jesus pulls him into the boat. And afterwards says to Peter, “Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Which is Jesus’ way of saying, “Why are you worrying? I’ve got this.”

The best part? What Jesus doesn’t say.

When Peter cries out for help, Jesus doesn’t say, “You know, Peter, you really need to get yourself together if you expect Me to help you.”

Jesus doesn’t say, “What have you done to deserve My help?”

Or “How many times am I going to have to do this?”

Or “What’s in it for Me?”

Jesus simply pulls Peter into the boat. Before He says anything.

Why is that the best part?

Because it shows us that Jesus isn’t keeping score.

Jesus isn’t looking at you or me or Peter, to see whether we deserve His love, His help.

Because if it was left to what we actually deserved, Peter would still be in the water.

Jesus is looking at us through His eyes of love. The same Love that’s looking for you.

Let’s be clear.

The Love that’s looking for you has nothing to do with who you are.

The Love that’s looking for you has everything to do with who He is.
