On this Wednesday of the Christmas season, today’s readings remind us of a simple but demanding truth: God is love — and that love must be lived, not just spoken.

From the First Letter of John, we hear that fear has no place in perfect love. In the Gospel, the disciples struggle against the storm, failing at first to recognise Jesus walking toward them on the water — a powerful reminder that fear can cloud our vision even when God is already near.

With light humor and practical reflection, this episode invites Catholics and catechumens to trust more deeply, love more boldly, and recognise Christ’s presence in the middle of life’s storms.
