from Fr Scott Reilly LC · host Fr Scott Reilly LC
The act of faith and adherence they are expected to achieve does not limit itself to an intellectual assent. The act of total adherence to Jesus—with soul, spirit, will, and body—includes even those subconscious, emotional recesses we normally think cannot be governed by the deliberate exercise of the will. On this boat during this storm, it is the disciples’ very emotions and deepest survival instincts that are being redeemed.”— Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to St. Matthew by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
