Another fisherman?

This is a re-post but again its relevant... The Orendi is being changed, pray for Bishops and especially for the Holy Father even if he troubles us!!

“The devil loves to fish in troubled waters!” – St. Aloysius

Contrast that with what our Lord does in in Mark 4:

St. Aloysius
That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”  Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.  Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”


Let not your heart be troubled!  The Lord is there with you at all times!  There is nothing that the Devil is allowed to do that you do not have the grace to withstand and even embarrass him!  When the waters come take up a crucifix and ask him to help bear the trial, he is more than a conqueror, for he is God!

+Pray, Hope and Don't Worry+
