With Jesus, we can overcome all the storms of life.

Have you ever experienced a storm in your life? I don’t want us to remember the natural cataclysm. A storm in us, in the family, in the neighborhood can last not hours, but weeks, months, or years. Who counts the tears, sleepless nights, days of waiting for the other to realize a mistake, a mistake, a fall… And comes and says: “Sorry, … forgive, … forget, … help to change, .. .let’s start again…” It’s hard when we see what a natural storm destroys. It is more difficult, much more painful when a storm is caused by a loved one – for no reason, without a cause, when he stomps, slowly injures, bloodlessly murders, and at the same time does not see, does not hear, does not want to admit it…

In the Gospel, the frightened apostles on the stormy sea see Jesus as “he threatened the wind and said to the sea: “Shut up, calm down! The wind stopped and there was a great silence” (Mk 4:39). From time to time we hear people claim that God is not interested in the world. Many also believe that God created the world, but then left the world to fend for itself. God exists. The above is proof of the existence of God, God is in us, and we are in God. Our paths in life are also his paths. We read about God already at the creation of the world, that he saw everything he had created, and it was good (cf. Ex 1:12, 18, 25). We even know that “God created man in his own image” (Ex 1:27). Even after people’s sins, God does not stop loving humanity. Good God, God – Love does not forget its children. But we, God’s children, must return to God, return our love to him. Can we say that in the Holy Scriptures, there is something written that God wants us to do badly? Is it bad when the Church, for example, teaches about respect for parents, that we must not kill unborn children, that none of us even in old age and neither in illness nor in misfortune must he decide to end life, euthanasia? Is it bad when we hear teachings about the need to respect conscience? We are created in the image of God, but even if someone does not believe in God, he must feel moral responsibility for life and what about it is related to him.

In the storms of life; life conflicts; battles, and matches with our “I” again and again God speaks to each of us. Converts and all who found strength and reconciled with God rediscovered God, speak of a God who still loves. God loves every person, even when a person insults, ignores, does not accept, or expels God from his life. When we open ourselves to God, and accept God as our Lord of life and the goal of life, we can say that God has called to us many times: I need you! I require your consent of reason and free will to end your suffering. I want to help you. I require your approval.

We, the people, do not wait for consent to change the style or the way of life of our neighbors. Whoever lives in sin is blind, deaf, dumb… Does he not see that he is causing pain, suffering, and sorrow to those around him, dear ones… – is God to blame for that? Man is gifted by God with reason and will. Man can also say to God: no! It is Christian when we understand Christ’s words: “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Mt 5:38n)
