Event
The storm stilled
“Who is this?”
Jesus sleeps in the boat in the middle of the storm and silences the wind and the sea.
He slept through the storm
Exhausted, the disciples row against a gale that fills the boat. Jesus sleeps in the stern, a sign of total trust in the Father.
'Aquietai-vos'
Once awake, He rebukes the wind and the sea, and there is a great calm. The question that remains is twofold: 'Why are you so afraid?' and 'Who is this?'.
