The readings for Sunday focus on water, culminating with Our Lord’s mastery over nature in the calming of the storm. In the Sacred Scriptures, water is a big topic if one considers the creation accounts, Noah’s flood, Moses striking the rock, baptism, and the waters that flow from the temple in Revelation, just to name a few.
If instead of the Book of Divine Revelation we just read the book of nature, we would wisely be in awe of the amazing properties of water. As a natural substance, the intelligibility and goodness of water, reveal the intelligibility and goodness of creation, which points back to the intelligence and goodness of the Creator.
