Episode 24
Heart to Heart Catholic Media Ministry
We close the week with Fr. Keith reflecting on Matthew 14, where Jesus comes to the disciples in the midst of a violent storm, walking on the water. After feeding the multitude, Jesus had commanded them to get into the boat—and they obeyed.
But obedience did not spare them from the storm. In their fear, Jesus speaks the words they most need to hear:
"Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid."
Fr. Keith invites us to place ourselves in that boat and ask: Am I willing to let Jesus’ command—Do not be afraid—settle into my heart?
