Pope Shenouda III
St. Mark the Evangelist says: "And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. " And when the disciples were afraid, what did the Lord do? He "arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm" (Mk. 4:37,39). The effect of this on those in the ship was that they said: "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!" (Mk. 4:41) Indeed, who has authority over sea, wind and waves, commanding and rebuking them and they obey? Does this not remind us of the words of the Psalm: "0 Lord God of hosts, who is mighty like You, 0 Lord? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, You still them" (Ps. 89:8,9)?
