A Child’s Prayer:

Francis and Clare You showed God such love Living humbly here Living only for God Hear now our prayer That we might also love too And live out our lives Following Jesus like you.

Crisis – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, the disciples were in their boats struggling with the strong winds. Jesus came to their rescue. Jesus is always there for us too when we are “struggling” with problems in our lives. Do we allow fears to dampen our faith in the Lord?

Nobody must rejoice in the security of their own good deeds. As long as we are still experiencing the uncertainties of this life, we do not know what end may follow ... we must not trust in our own virtues.

- Pope Saint Gregory the Great
