Imagine yourself with Jesus in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear. When the priest read this gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger. She wasn’t the wind or the waves. According to Graves, “I was the boat! And then it occurred to me that like Jesus’s mother Mary, I too am a God-bearer.
