Fulton Sheen: “Believe The Incredible And You Can Do The Impossible”

We’ve all read that Peter walked on water.

But only for a minute.

And then he sank.

Why?

We know that Peter could swim.

So why did he sink?

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen tells us (in video embedded below):

He took his eyes off the Lord. He began to take account of the winds. He said “all nature’s against me”

Christ then took Peter’s hand, admonished him for his lack of faith, and brought back into the boat.

And suddenly the winds died down.

Peter: Impetuous. Often lacking in faith. Thrice a denier.

I am all too often just like Peter.

Yet ultimately, Peter’s faith, his belief, and his heart, won out.

I can only pray that I’ll continue to be just like Peter.

Peace
