Fr. WB all over the place
... In case you have not noticed, Fr. WB has become something of a celebrity of late with his reflections on Lent; Lent and Beyond published his "Peace! Be Still" last week:
Thanks be to God: we know the identity of Him who is in the stern of the boat with us. We ought to recognize the obedience of our very circumstances to his command: “Peace! Be still!” And there was peace; and there was stillness. We know the answer to the question “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” He is the Lord of the wind and the sea, through Whom the wind and the sea, and our own tempestuous ecclesial circumstances and personal lives, were made. The same voice that spoke to the quavering disciples in the boat on Galilee spoke to the nihil at the Beginning, ordering the chaos: “Let there be light!” And there was light. And so he speaks to you and me, here and now.
I commend you all to his excellent devotional guidance for the remainder of Lent- Part I and Part II.
