Wade in the Water
Yesterday was the moving Gospel Reading in Matthew in which Peter falls into the water after seeing him walk on it. The priest noted that Jews believed that the devil dwelled in the sea and that only God could "walk on the crest of a wave" as described in Job. This is why this is the second major manifestation of the divinity of Christ and why it is important to see that we are all in the barque of Peter.
