SUMMARY:Vigils Reading-19th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST AUGUSTINE \n◊◊◊ \nThe gospel tells us how Christ the Lord walked upon the waters of the sea\, \nand how the apostle Peter did the same until fear made him falter and lose \nconfidence. Then he began to sink and emerged from the water only after \ncalling on the Lord with renewed faith. \nNow we must regard the sea as a symbol of the present world\, and the \napostle Peter as a symbol of the one and only Church. For Peter\, who ranked \nfirst among the apostles and was always the most ready to declare his love for \nChrist\, often acted as a spokesman for them all. For instance\, when the Lord \nJesus asked who people thought he was and the other disciples had cited various \nopinions\, it was Peter who responded to the Lord’s further question\, But who do \nyou say that I am? With the affirmation: You are the Christ\, the Son of the \nliving God. One replied for all because all were united. \nWhen we consider Peter as a representative member of the Church we \nshould distinguish between what was due to God’s action in him and what was \nattributable to himself. Then we ourselves shall not falter\, then we shall be \nfounded upon the rock and remain firm and unmoved in the face of the wind\, \nrain\, and floods\, which are the trials and temptations of this present world. \nLook at Peter\, who in this episode is an image of ourselves; at the moment he is \nall confidence\, at the next all uncertainty and doubt; now he professes faith in \nthe immortal One\, now he fears for his life. \nLord\, if it is you\, bid me come to you upon the water. When the Lord \nsaid: “Come”\, Peter climbed out of the boat and began to walk on the water. \nThis is what he could do through the power of the Lord; what by himself? \nRealizing how violently the wind was blowing\, he lost his nerve and as he \nbegan to sink he called out: “Lord\, I am drowning\, save me. When he counted \non the Lord’s help it enabled him to walk on the water; when human frailty \nmade him falter he turned once more to the Lord\, who immediately stretched \nout his hand to help him\, raised him up as he was sinking\, and rebuked him for \nhis lack of faith. \nThink\, then\, of this world as a sea\, whipped up to tempestuous heights by \nviolent winds. A person’s own private tempest will be his or her unruly desires. \nIf you love God you will have the power to walk upon the waters\, and all the \nworld’s swell and turmoil will remain beneath your feet. But if you love the \nworld it will surely engulf you\, for it always devours its lovers\, never sustains \nthem. If you feel your foot slipping beneath you\, if you become a prey to doubt or \nrealize that you are losing control\, if\, in a word\, you begin to sink\, say: Lord\, I \nam drowning\, save me! Only he who for your sake died in your fallen nature \ncan save you from a death inherent in that fallen nature.
