it will not sink

the sea is symbolic of our journey
our journey to the Beatific vision
beautiful, frightening, deep, and mysterious
some days it is dark
murky
billowing
tumultuous
we feel sick
other days it is crystal clear
indigo blue
restful and smooth
like sailing on beautiful glass
we feel confident and have very little anxiety
the Church is the boat
barnacles and all
it will not sink
it may be attacked from without and within
but it will not sink
even if it seems Jesus is asleep in the stern
as we cry out,
afraid we will parish,
we know when He wakes
He's going to ask us where our faith is...
i often have to admit,
"i don't know where it is Lord"
and once again,
He helps me find it.
