God leads us through rock, fire and water... into the "Nothing" of his Astonishing Presence.
Homily for the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, delivered in St Patrick's Church, Calliope.
"When Elijah reached Horeb, the mountain of God, he went into the cave and spent the night in it. Then he was told, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord.’ Then the Lord himself went by. There came a mighty wind, so strong it tore the mountains and shattered the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there came the sound of a gentle breeze. And when Elijah heard this, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave." (cf. 1 Kings 19).
"Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he would send the crowds away. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now far out on the lake, was battling with a heavy sea, for there was a head-wind. In the fourth watch of the night he went towards them, walking on the lake, and when the disciples saw him walking on the lake they were terrified... It was Peter who answered: ‘Lord... if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.’ ‘Come’ said Jesus. Then Peter got out of the boat..." (cf. Mt 14).
