Fr. Peter talks about his recent night climb on Mt. Adams with one of his best friends, where they also celebrated Mass but how the climb up a mountain is also a metaphor for life.  

When Jesus asks Peter to come, it is a metaphor for our life even in the storms and waves.  Don't be afraid-Step out of the boat, have faith and be humble enough to pray the simple prayer "Lord save me."

In the story of Martha and Mary Fr. Peter shares how a contemplative faith life and an active faith life are necessary at the same time.  

When times of anxiety runs high remembering that contemplation with the Lord is necessary to have the active life. We have to do things to live our life as human beings. To contemplate requires nothing, you can be anywhere, setting your sight on the Lord.

Jesus uses the real things on earth and in  the parables to teach us about moral living.
Sometimes that distinction can be hard.  Living the life we live on Sundays should be the same life we live daily everywhere.  Online,  and in person.
