Wednesday, 3 December 2025   But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30   “And seeing the forcible wind, he feared, and having begun to submerge, he croaked, saying, ‘Lord, You save me!'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Peter came down from the boat and commenced walking to Jesus. Matthew next records, “And seeing the forcible wind, he feared.”   It is the standard error that believers find themselves in to this day. What does it take to see the forcible wind? Follow the sequence of events:   Jesus: “You embolden! I, I am! You fear not!” Peter: “Lord, if You – You are – You command me to come to You upon the waters.” Jesus: “And He said, “You come!” Peter: He walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus. Peter: And seeing the forcible wind.   Jesus is the Object. Peter sees Jesus and petitions Him. Jesus directs Peter to come. Peter comes, looking at Jesus. Peter... takes his eyes off Jesus, “and having begun to submerge, he croaked.”   A new word is seen here, katapontizó, to plunge down, and thus to submerge. It is derived from kata, down against, and the same root as the area known as Pontus found in Acts 2:9 and 1 Peter 1:1. This word will only be seen again in Matthew 18:6.   Peter got distracted from what is most important. Jesus was the target to obtain. In allowing the distractions to take his eyes off the goal, his attention was likewise distracted. With his attention distracted, he was no longer mentally focused on what allowed him to walk on the water in the first place. Because of this, he cried out, “saying, ‘Lord, You save me!'”   Again, it is the standard response believers make in hopes of correcting their own blunders to this day: Believer is focused on Jesus. Believer takes his eyes off of Jesus and gets caught up in an infraction of the law, a particular sin, etc. Believer is now in a bad, bad pickle, finding no way of fixing his own slip-up. And so, believer croaks in his soul and to Jesus, “Help me! Help me, Lord Jesus!”   Life application: One of the most important thoughts for believers recorded in the New Testament is found in the first few words of Hebrews 12:2 –   “Eyeballing unto the ‘the faith Pioneer and Perfecter,' Jesus” (CG). Scholars repeatedly say that Peter's error was a lack of faith. And it is true that Jesus will call him ‘little-faithed' in the next verse. But Peter had faith, even if it was little. That was not the immediate problem. Rather, Peter took his eyes off of the Object of his faith.   The pastor who has been faithfully preaching to his congregation for many years may have amazing faith, but when he meets with a woman for counseling, his eyes may be misdirected from Jesus. At such a time, calamity may be just around the corner. It happened to David, and none of us is above such a lapse of judgment.   Along with Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 3:1 says, “Thence, holy brothers – heavenly calling participants, you scrutinize the Apostle and High Priest, our confession, Jesus!”   We are not just to look in the direction of Jesus, we are to eyeball Him and to scrutinize Him, mentally considering Him at all times. When we fail to do this, we begin to sink into the troubled seas around us. In 1 Chronicles 29, David, a man who understood what it meant to take his eyes off the Lord and to sink into sin, petitioned the Lord for just this type of determination for His flock –   “O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.”   Should we have any less of a heart? If not, then let us pray for such fixed determination. And while we are asking for our own strength, let us remember our fellow believers, those in our church, our pastors and teachers, and anyone else who comes to mind.   May we learn to direct our attention to Jesus, always remembering the sacred words of Scripture, “Eyeballing unto the ‘the faith Pioneer and Perfecter,' Jesus” (CG). Nothing else will do. All else will lead to a sad set of circumstances that may jeopardize our lives, our relationships, and our witness for the Lord Jesus.   Lord God, we are weak and frail creatures who need to constantly focus our hearts and souls on You. We should always scrutinize Jesus as if looking over the finest gem or most beautiful flower, considering every detail of His majesty. Help us to be focused on Him at all times. In this, we will be in the right frame of mind to handle all challenges we face. Amen.

Pete and Trevor saw Steven Soderbergh's Black Bag, but they aren't really allowed to talk about it, and each of them is suspicious that the other may be compromised and working for another podcast.

November is Bird Month! Flying in first, it's Aardman's 2000 classic, Chicken Run! Ben and Anthony discuss the highest grossing stop motion animated film of all time. Directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park from a screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick.

Flushed Away is a 2006 computer-animated adventure comedy film directed by Sam Fell and David Bowers, produced by Cecil Kramer, David Sproxton, and Peter Lord, and written by Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais, Chris Lloyd, Joe Keenan and Will Davies. It was the third and final DreamWorks Animation film co-produced with Aardman Features following Chicken Run (2000) and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), and was the first Aardman project mostly made in CGI animation as opposed to starting with their usual stop-motion. The film stars the voices of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen, Shane Richie, Bill Nighy, Andy Serkis and Jean Reno. In the film, a pampered pet rat named Roddy St. James (Jackman) is flushed down the toilet in his Kensington apartment by a sewer rat named Sid (Richie), and befriends a scavenger named Rita Malone (Winslet) in order to get back home while evading a sinister toad (McKellen) and his hench-rats (Nighy and Serkis). -- Audiomorphs is an Animorphs podcast which is actually not so much a podcast as a bootleg Animorphs audiobook.

Prayer of the day : "O God our defender, storms rage around and within us and cause us to be afraid. Rescue your people from despair, deliver your sons and daughters from fear, and preserve us in the faith of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.  Amen."   Sermon I Kings 19: 9-18, Psalm 85:8-13, Romans 10:5-15, Matthew 14:22-33           Now the Silence   [God] said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.”  Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind, an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.  When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.  Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”   This reading from I Kings is paired with the Matthew story of Jesus going up on a mountain by himself to pray.  Elijah had been sentenced to death by Queen Jezebel, held responsible for the death of the 450 prophets of the god Baal.  He was running for his life, surely scared but also so depressed that he just wanted to die.  We read, in the wilderness “he asked God that he might die.  ‘It is enough, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.'”  (Read 19:3-10)   Then these words from God, “Go out and stand on the mountain…”   In the gospel story Jesus has just dismissed an enormous crowd where the sick were cured and 5000 men plus women and children had been fed by the disciples with five loaves and two fish blessed by Jesus.     And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray.  When evening came, he was there alone…   But, unlike Elijah, Jesus was not running for his life.  Surely he too was grieving, though not for himself like Elijah, but from the news that his cousin, John the Baptist, had just been beheaded by order of King Herod.  And Jesus was no doubt weary from a very long day caring for probably 10,000 or more people.  And likely he was mindful that the day would come when he too, like John, would be put to death. Jesus needed to be alone; he needed quiet; he needed time to pray.   During the Confession of Sins, the moments when we are silent are intentional.  And I have asked Bruce to wait a minute or so after this sermon before introducing the hymn of the day just for silence.  It was in “a sound of sheer silence” or in other translations “a still small voice” or “a softly whispering voice” that the LORD spoke to Elijah.  I think it was how his Father spoke to and with Jesus, his Son…And I suspect, a primary way the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit speak to all of us.   I am only beginning to appreciate the words of Martin Luther who said that when he knew the day ahead would be especially challenging, he would pray for two hours before engaging all that would come that day.  [I am nowhere yet near that laudable discipline!]  But don't you and I know that when we have been still, as still as best we can be, if even for a few minutes, we are sometimes given greater focus and clarity about what's next in our lives; yes, what and how God would have us be and do for the most loving living of each day?   “Now the Silence” is a beautiful hymn you may have heard and perhaps sung.  I've asked Deb to sing it during Holy Communion today. I speak the words now:   Now the silence, Now the peace, Now the empty hands uplifted; Now the kneeling, Now the plea, Now the Father's arms in welcome; Now the hearing, Now the pow'r, Now the vessel brimmed for pouring; Now the body, Now the blood, Now the joyful celebration, Now the wedding, Now the songs, Now the heart forgiven leaping; Now the Spirit's visitation, Now the Son's epiphany, Now the Father's blessing.  Now.  Now.  Now.   Now the silence, now wherein the still small voice may be heard…  For Jesus and for each of us in whom he dwells, such silence is filled with God's very self.  The sheer silence is a way God prepares us for challenges, including the storms that lie ahead.   When evening came, he was there alone, but by this time the boat battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them.  And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.   Early in the morning, early each morning, might we say, might we believe Jesus is walking toward us?   I think about the people on the island of Maui where the wind and the waves and, most disastrously, the raging fires have swept through entire villages. Can they believe that Jesus is walking toward them, these shocked and devastated people?  Can they believe that his Father's arms are now and forever holding even loved ones who have perished? …For the survivors, maybe not right now.  Maybe now God is for them at best an apparition, at worst bringing judgment and death.    But can we believe that Jesus is walking toward them?  Can we believe that when their hope and their faith is failing, when they are drowning, Jesus is reaching out to rescue them?   A member of Faith in a recent Tuesday Bible study shared a challenge for our congregation.  It is, albeit, much, much less consequential than that faced by the people of Maui. In approving our annual budget, we counted on the sale yet this year of a portion of our property to eliminate our still significant nearly half-million building debt.  But now it seems likely that the sale will not be consummated so quickly.    Granted, this is nowhere near the challenge faced by the people of Hawaii, but it is our challenge.  Will we meet our obligations of providing Word and sacrament and other forms of caring for each other and of providing consistent care for others in this hurting and frightened world we have been called to generously and steadfastly serve?    But hear the gospel for the people of Hawaii and for the people of Faith:  For this and for any other challenges we face, whether great or small, Jesus on the mountain, in the night of our distress, has already prayed for us.  And now Jesus is on his way to help us. Though we may not immediately recognize him, can we not in the silence of our hearts hear him say, “Take heart, it is I.  Do not be afraid.”?   But maybe we are Peter:  “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  [Jesus] said, “Come.”  So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus.  But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”    Hear the gospel: Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”  When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.  And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”   One thoughtful commentator has suggested that Jesus' words, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” were not a harsh, belittling criticism, but a gentle, softly spoken reminder to Peter to trust that Jesus has got this.  The worst storms in our lives cannot separate us from God's saving love made known to us in his Son.   Now, in the silence following this sermon, think of a strong, battering wind in your  life.  Then hear Jesus, walking on troubled waters, saying to you, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”   Amen.

People walked away from Jesus when he spoke about the Eucharist. I can emulate St. Peter: "Lord, who shall I go to? You have the message of eternal life, and I believe, I know that You are the Holy One of God." Peter is a friend and consoles Jesus by being there for Him. That's what we do when we pray for 10 minutes every day. We too can console Him by being there.

Faith is not passive, it demands that we step out in obedience to the savior risking much to be rewarded by the impossible. It is only reckless when fail to verify the call by asking the question like Peter “Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said.There are many calls upon our lives but there is only one that can speak to the restlessness of our hearts and that is found in the voice of the Lord Jesus beckoning to come. In a world that has clearly lost its way , only one voice has power over the raging storms of humanity…it's time by faith step out of your sinking boat, it's time to come home. There is much, much more to this story but until we meet again, this is Steve and I beckon you to Press On! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I'm Tearsheet's founder and editor-in-chief, Zack Miller. If we were only talking about the benefits of open finance a couple of years ago, we're already seeing open finance take root today. Firms like Plaid and Codat are showing the power of integrating customer financial data across firms and into apps. New use cases are popping up all the time. Today's guest is Peter Lord, CEO of Codat. Codat zeroes in on small business financial data. That's a very different problem to solve than, say, aggregating consumer data. Pete joins me on the podcast to talk about the challenges of wrangling SMB financial data. We also chat about how and where he decides to provide value-added services on top of the data he's sharing versus just providing the raw data. Pete shares his feedback on the evolution of use cases for SMB financial data he's seen over the past 5 years of running Codat.

The Last Two WeeksOver the last two weeks, we have explored two distinct but related topics: first: judging actions, not people, and second: how ideology can come at the expense of charity and kindness. Those topics are foundational for any conversation on forgiveness. So, if you have not read or listened to those, I highly recommend going back and viewing those first!To Err is Human, to Forgive, DivineAlexander Pope, in his poem An Essay on Criticism written in 1711, says, “To err is human, to forgive divine.” This comes from an old Latin proverb errare humanum est (to err is human). Erring is easy. We do it all the time. We make silly mistakes and sometimes we make big mistakes. We can be selfish, careless, ignorant, or down-right malicious.Every human being sins and falls short of the glory of God (cf. Rom. 3:23). We all need forgiveness. Why then is it so darn hard to forgive sometimes? Maybe we are waiting for the apology that never comes. Maybe we have tried to make things right but it falls on deaf ears.Given our fallen world, it seems that forgiveness is just out of reach, a lot of the time. This is why Alexander Pope says that forgiveness is divine. Do we need the omnipotence of Almighty God to muster up forgiveness? Or perhaps, paradoxically, we need to emulate the sublime humility of God to forgive others?Do We Need to Forgive? - Natural OrderIs it necessary to forgive? Do we need to forgive? If it is so difficult, perhaps it would be easier to forgo the exercise and just move on? The problem with this is that resentment can build. Forgiveness is important for our physical and mental well-being. As the Catholic author Bert Ghezzi puts it in his 1980 book The Angry Christian, “Resentment is like a poison we carry around inside us with the hope that when we get the chance we can deposit it where it will harm another who has injured us. The fact is that we carry this poison at extreme risk to ourselves.”Phrased another way: unforgiveness and resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. If we do not let go, this resentment will kill us. Before you get too deep into resentment, remember that most people err out of ignorance. Malice certainly exists. People do bad things out of malevolence; it would be naive to think otherwise. But it would be a mistake to assume malice. Instead, apply “Hanlon's razor” - “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” I am not suggesting we assume everyone is stupid. Remember to judge actions and words, not people. However, it is far more charitable to assume someone is acting out of misguided passion or ignorance rather than malice. Do We Need to Forgive? - Supernatural OrderWhat about in the supernatural order, spiritually-speaking? Our Lord Jesus lays it all out on the line for us: “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Mt. 6:14-15).”We are all sinners in need of God's forgiveness. Accordingly, it is not only a good idea to forgive; it is absolutely necessary for salvation. Our Blessed Lord shows us also in the Gospel of St. Mark that, “whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses (Mk. 11:25).”  Our forgiveness of others is plainly concomitant with the forgiveness that we receive from God. Jesus Himself teaches us to pray to the Father with these words, Father: “... forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors (Mt. 6:12).” Hearing this alongside the other two passages calling for us to be forgiving, the necessity is clear. But Jesus makes it even clearer in St. Matthew's Gospel right after giving us the Our Father prayer. He says, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Mt. 6:14-15).”The call to forgiveness is so important that it needs to be put forcefully and plainly. If you and I do not forgive others, we will go to Hell. The call is that simple. This act, however, is not simple; in fact, it is impossible for man. But with God, all things are possible. He gives us the grace in His Holy Spirit and through the merits of His Cross.Forgiving Even Our EnemiesForgiveness is one of the most powerful acts of love. It is requisite, if we are to love. This is all well and good when the person who needs to be forgiven is a friend, family member, or acquaintance, but what about when the person is our enemy? Jesus says at the end of the Sermon on the Mount:“43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Mt. 5:43-48).”For a brief reflection on this last line about perfection, check out “The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good” from a couple weeks back, here on Will Wright Catholic!We must love even our enemies and this means forgiving them.Radical Forgiveness, In ChristOne of the most poignant examples in recent memory comes from Corrie Ten Bloom. She was a Dutch woman who was arrested by the Nazis for hiding Jews. She survived countless horrors in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Later, in 1947, in a church in Munich, she saw one of the vicious guards of Ravensbrück. Since the war, this vile man had become a Christian. After her talk, he approached her and asked her for forgiveness. By the power of Jesus, Corrie Ten Bloom did forgive that Nazi guard. This is the strength God gives us to overcome anger, if we only ask.  It would have been easy for Corrie Ten Bloom to give into hatred of this guard who had caused her so much suffering. It would have been easy for her to curse the man and walk away. A compelling argument could even be made that he would have deserved to be treated like dirt.  She describes this moment, frozen before the former guard, as one of the most difficult things she has ever had to do. She cried out in the silence of her heart to Christ saying, “Jesus, help me! I can lift my hand. I can do that much. You supply the feeling.” Of course, Jesus answered. He desired for forgiveness to win the day, as it always does. She put out her hand describing being filled with a “healing warmth.” Tears came to her eyes and she said, “I forgive you, brother. With all my heart.” The love of God has a power that cannot be explained in words. This forgiveness is impossible for man, but with God all things are possible. This radical love and forgiveness is only possible with Jesus Christ. He Himself said, “Father, forgive them” of the Romans while suffering His agonizing passion and death.Are We Forgiven?Okay. We can forgive our friends, family members, and acquaintances, and even our enemies. But, what about forgiving ourselves? Sometimes the hardest person to forgive stares back at us in the mirror each morning. Again, the only way to truly forgive ourselves is to love ourselves. To get to this point of humility, we have to see ourselves how God sees us. We need to deeply experience His love, mercy, and forgiveness. You might be thinking: that's fine for other people, but I'm pretty awful. I mean, I suck. Well… first of all, shush. No you don't. In the future, we are going to talk about the difference between conviction and condemnation. Suffice it to say, the former is a gift from God and the latter is from the pits of Hell. What does God reveal to us about His merciful forgiveness? Above all, He showed us the depths of His love from the Cross. Jesus Christ is sinless and blameless, but for our sake, for our sins, He endured the weight of the Cross. He suffered, died, and rose so that we might be forgiven. We share in His merits because He made us coheirs with Him through Baptism. What a gift!God Alone Blots Out Our TransgressionsGod alone can forgive sins. Furthermore, we need Him to see our faults clearly. As the Psalmist says, “Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults (Ps. 19:12).” As an aside, this is why I end my confession in the Sacrament of Penance with some iteration of: “and for all the other sins I have forgotten, I am sorry.” I am not saying this to “cover my bases;” I am giving thanks to God for declaring me innocent from hidden faults.Only when we receive God's love and mercy with an open heart will we be truly happy. As the Psalmist says, “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered (Ps. 32:1).” How do we become so fortunate? How do we receive this divine forgiveness?!? Simple: we ask. As Pope Francis says rightly and so often: “God never tires of forgiving us.” We need only ask for His forgiveness with a contrite heart. Then, we receive the promise of Jeremiah: “I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me (Jer. 33:8).”Further, by a true miracle, it is as if our sins did not exist. To illustrate the point, God speaks through the Prophet Isaiah saying, “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins (Is. 43:25).” The Psalmist echoes the same joyous song: “as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us (Ps. 103:12).”When and How Many Times Must We Forgive?It is clear that God forgives us when we are contrite and ask for His forgiveness. He never tires of forgiving us. Every single time you or I commit the same sin that we confessed last time. Every time we find new ways to offend the Lord. He does not stop His mercy. As long as we have breath in our lungs, we can receive His forgiveness. What, then, should our response to this gratuitous mercy be? It should be gratitude, first. What a beautiful gift to continually be drawn back to our Heavenly Father by our Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Second, we should do likewise. In the Gospel of St. Luke, Jesus says this:“Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,' you must forgive him (Lk. 17:3-4).”Likewise, in St. Matthew's Gospel, Jesus is asked by St. Peter: “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus replies, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times (Mt.18:21-22).” Here, Jesus is not saying that we forgive seventy-seven times but to heck with them on the seventy-eighth time. It simply means an uncertain and inscrutable number - as many times as it takes.This is not an excuse to sin, nor is it a free pass for the offender. Right before this passage Jesus says to His disciples: “Tempations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves… (Lk. 17:1-2,3a).”But when someone does offend us, in sin, but then asks for our forgiveness, who are we to deny them? We cannot judge people. We judge actions. We can judge rightly that an action against us was immoral or imprudent, but we cannot judge the offender's heart and soul. So, following the command of Jesus, we forgive - as many times as it takes.The only way for this platform to grow is for you to get the word out!
