## Resource

In this reflection on July 1, 2026, on the gospel in the mass, I begin by requesting prayers for a retreat he is leading for priests in the Philippines, noting the challenges of coordinating with an older, less tech-savvy group. Our reflection on the Gospel of Matthew, specifically the narrative of Jesus calming the storm at sea. Drawing on personal memories of seasickness and family loss, I explore the human experience of desperation and helplessness in the face of life’s trials. The homily emphasizes that the apostles’ plea for salvation serves as a model for steadfast prayer during dark times, even when God seems silent or asleep. Ultimately, the listeners are encouraged to maintain absolute faith in divine providence, regardless of whether their immediate circumstances improve. The message concludes by asserting that the safest place for a believer to be is in the sovereignty of God.
