Peter Sinks, Jesus Saves: A Gospel Reflection for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Fr. Mike Mahoney – 08/07/2026

The Catholic Morning Show

Fr. Mike Mahoney, parochial vicar at St. Theresa Parish in Des Moines, previews the Gospel for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matthew's account of Jesus walking on water and calling Peter out onto the sea. He reflects on why the disciples mistook Jesus for a ghost, what Peter's sinking moment reveals about doubt, and how refocusing on Christ restores peace amid life's chaos. It's a short, practical reflection to prepare your heart before Mass this Sunday.
