"Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"

Just a few thoughts

·        Because of the coronavirus, Pope Francis gave his extraordinary blessing “urbi et orbi” (to the city and the world) in an empty St. Peter's Square at the Vatican March 27, 2020. He said:

 Like the disciples in the Gospel we were caught off guard by an unexpected, turbulent storm. We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat … are all of us. Just like those disciples, who spoke anxiously with one voice, saying “we are perishing” (v. 38), so we too have realized that we cannot go on thinking of ourselves, but only together can we do this.

Reflection.

ü The Church then is like a small, fragile boat in a huge and often hostile world. Sometimes storms broke out and threatens the boat-Church. The early – and also the subsequent – Church suffered many persecutions and movements determined to wipe it out.
