Abandonment Not At Sea

 

Next Step #12 – September 3, 2008

Who was that masked man? Kimosabe? The disciples may not have asked this question, but they certainly challenged Jesus to reveal himself as the one who calms the sea and the wind. While Hurricane Gustav passed through without major calamity, Fr. Vazken looks at Mark chapter 4 and points to a greater miracle than calming the storm. After all, everything is possible with God . The greater miracle is in reaching out, in dissipating the fears caused by feelings of loneliness and abandonment.

Repent or Perish

 

Next Step #4

Pain and suffering is experienced on different scales, whether on a grand scale as when natural disasters strike, or as experienced on the personal or individual level. Is this because the sins of some are greater or worse than others? The answer is found in Luke 13. In the Gospel, Jesus says NO! But He tells us that we must repent. To repent is to redirect our outlook, our attitude. What makes this possible? Where does Einstein’s belief in an expanding universe fit into this? Is God moving the bishop on the chessboard of life? Tune in to this next installment to find out!
