The Mysteries of the Life of Christ Our Lord › Of How Christ Our Lord Made the Tempest of the Sea Be Calm
OF HOW CHRIST OUR LORD MADE THE TEMPEST OF THE SEA BE CALM
St. Matthew writes Chapter 8 [23-28].
First Point. First: Christ our Lord being asleep at sea, a great tempest[27] arose.
Second Point. Second: His Disciples, frightened, awakened Him. Whom He reprehends for the little faith which they had, saying to them: “‘What do you fear, ye of little faith!’”
Third Point. Third: He commanded the winds and the sea to cease: and, so ceasing, the sea became calm: at which the men wondered, saying: “‘Who is this whom the wind and the sea obey?’”
Translator’s notes (Elder Mullan)
[27] Great tempest is in St. Ignatius’ hand, correcting some word erased.
