Why did Peter begin to sink when he became afraid? When is it wrong to be afraid?

When the wind of doubt breaks the eye contact, then he starts to sink. Eye contact with Jesus taht`s what we need to keep at all times.

What lesson do you think Jesus was teaching His disciples when He fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish?

There is a reminder of the Eucharist. Which is the greatest miracle? the feeding of the 5000 with so little or the Resurrectiion and the Feeding of the billions through the centuries through his own Blood and Body? Faith is the lesson that shines through both...how is it possible? a bewilderment that will be none compared to the one after the Resurrection. Or that should have been so. It was but not immediately as the disciples did not believe immediately in the Resurrection. The Jesus of these `tangible` miracles was the Jesus they relied upon. Thomas asking to touch his rib... Blessed are those who saw and believe but all the more blessed those who did not see and believed..Think of what those 5000 said about that to so many others. A sense of wonder and expectation that spraed like waves and prepared the ground for the greatest miracle.

Why did God allow John to be beheaded by Herod?

To give us a most shiny example of the love and obeyance to God. They with their free will persist in sinning despite Johns advice. Who has everything to fear? not John dying for Jesus and the defense of the Law of Love - that was translated into the 10 Commandments ''kind of like the Constitution and the laws?'', but Herod and his daughter who persist intentionally in evil despite all warnings and thus condemning their souls to death. Although there is alwauys hope - the thief repenting on the cross. Our free will: where do we decide to turn? what are we willing to risk? God`s Kingdom? which is priceless end of all sufferings and sorrows etc and the gate is narrow it passes through the cross. Take up your cross and follow me Jesus said. Who loses his life for me shall gain it etc etc.
