Faith is daring!

Matthew 4.18-22: "And they straightway left their nets and followed him."

When Jesus chose his first disciples, he shows considerable daring: he will not seek them among the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, but invites fishermen (or sinners) to follow. In fact, Jesus does not look at the curriculum vitae of those men, he seeks to know the disposition of their hearts.


Today, it is motivating for all of us, because we might be tempted to believe that in the eyes of God, our expertise, knowledge gained from our training can become more important than what our heart feels. But God searches the hearts, the heart of being and He knows that is what we are that counts, not what we learned on the benches of the universities or faculties of theology (which is certainly important, as there are readers here no contempt for studies).


Faith is also a bold, to run a risk: followers abandon everything to follow a man who is foreign to them. They leave their boats, their nets, their own father, to embark on a journey totally unknown. They take the risk of losing some material comfort, security of employment, to launch headlong after a man who will lead, ultimately, at the foot of the Cross.


The call of Jesus is to us too, as it is renewed every day. Each morning, we do not know what the day will be made. So take the risk, as the disciples to follow in the footsteps of Christ, let surprise, bring something, by someone who goes beyond us.


Having faith is believing, is putting all his trust in God that we never met face to face.

Having faith is believing that Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem us from our sins so that we could never touch this man.

Having faith is believing in defiance of all laws of physics and all medical theories, that death is not the end all and that the resurrection and eternal life are promises that God has given us.


Faith is daring! It means being brave! Faith is willing to be disturbed, shaken in our certainties and habits, to answer the call of Christ. This is especially willing to leave a good safe day to commit to an uncertain future, where there is only one certainty: Jesus calls us and before us. He tells us, to each of us, every Aurora: "Come, follow me!"

So let's be bold and give up our comfort "too" reassuring to respond joyfully to the call of Jesus.

"Lord, save me!"


"Lord, if it is you, bid me come unto thee on the water." - Matthew 14.22-33

Jesus walking on water, to meet the disciples. These frightened think they see a ghost, a being unreal. But Jesus reassured by these words, words quite ordinary, but have an extraordinary power, words that are accessible to all: "It is I, fear not! "Then Peter wants to have the heart net he puts Christ at the event:" Lord, if it is you, bid me come unto thee on the water. Jesus has this simple answer: "Come! "Jesus invites Peter

to follow the" field "the most unstable of all: water. Strangely, miraculously, might say, Peter and Jesus walking on the waves, against all laws of physics. But when Peter realized the enormity of the thing, when he realizes he is out of the boat, outside the protective cocoon, when he feels the wind whipping her face, he gets scared, he loses his footing and sinks.

Seeing perish, he has words of despair, words that we all have sent one day to Jesus: "Lord, save me! "We had at one time or another, the feeling of walking on a" ground "unstable outside our protective bubble, and this made us afraid and we have lost his footing. There are situations like this, where one loses foot disease, loss of a loved one, doubts about the future, professional or personal concerns, so many opportunities to cry out to Jesus: "Lord, save me! "

Christ's response is primarily a gesture: one hand reaching out to him that runs. It is a helping hand, tense with determination towards the one who loses his footing in life. Because the Lord's call it an "endangered" is a risk to run. As Peter left the boat reassuring to go walking with Jesus on the waves, we, we, too, to leave reassuring our certainties, to walk on the waves that can engulf us if we let the winds of doubt we throw down.

In the tormented life that some of us live, there is one certainty: Jesus Walks, too, with us and is ready to reach us when we stumble, when we lose footing or if the circumstances make us aware of the boldness of which we never thought we would be able to. Because it is bold it is here. Peter is bold, he is brave enough to climb over the boat, to take his first steps on the water, but when he realizes his "Madness", he begins to doubt and regret this act crazy. It was then that Jesus saves through his hand and said that human folly is the folly of God. With God all things are possible! We must accept this helping hand to grab and go with the certainty that Jesus nothing is impossible.
