The story of Jesus walking on the water reminds me of a comic book that I read as a kid. I used to like horror comics, and stories that had a "Twilight Zone" type of twist at the end. There was one story of a boater who comes across a man walking on the water. He asks the man to tell him how he can walk on the water. The walker refuses. The boater pulls out a gun and forces the water walker to give him the ability to walk on water. The walker relents. The boater is then able to walk on water. The twist at the end was that while he could now walk on water, he would sink on dry land.
I thought about this while listenning to the homily today. Peter walked on water, but his faith wavered.
In other gospel stories, Jesus says that we must be willing to leave everything and follow him. What a metaphor for that my comic was! If we want to have the faith in Jesus we must be willing to leave our old lives behind. What better example of this than not being able to walk on dry land anymore. What was a horror ending in my comic, is a way of life for so many people who have been the saints and martyrs of our church. For once you have faith in Jesus you really have to be willing to not go back to where you came from.
