By Mallory Hoffman Walking on Water by Aivazovsky (Wikimedia Commons) Life is never without challenges. It’s easy to be good and choose God when life is calm, and there are no storms to navigate. Life is much easier if we are not being pelted by rain and dodging the fearful lightning strikes as we walk. Our fears and anxieties rage against us, unleashed by the storm. Where is the peace God promised us? How can we survive this onslaught of rage and violence? What can we do? We can pray. Prayer is the primary and most effective weapon we have been given to battle any evil, any storm. When we humble ourselves and pray, we surrender our will to God’s Will. God’s Will is love. God’s Will is peace. God’s Will is that we become saints. He doesn’t cause the storms, but He allows them to happen so that through the gift of free will, we can choose Him and grow closer to Him through our sufferings. We can choose His Will. We can allow God to use the storm to purify our souls. We only need to keep our eyes on Him. Through prayer, we open ourselves up to God and His graces pour down on us.

Saint Charles Storm 2 2012 by Meridith112
In the rugged landscapes of Normandy, France, I embarked on a hero's journey to capture the majestic Mont Saint-Michel during a sunset right after a lightning storm. My intentions were clear: to immortalize this iconic island in a way it had never been done before. With camera in hand, I set out to create a photograph that would etch itself into the annals of time. As I arrived in Normandy, the air carried a sense of antiquity, and the shores whispered tales of history and valor. The sights were breathtaking—rolling green hills, quaint villages, and the majestic Mont Saint-Michel rising from the horizon like a timeless sentinel. The taste of salt lingered in the air, a reminder of the proximity to the sea. The sounds of seagulls soaring above and waves crashing against the rocks blended with the distant echoes of the island's rich past. I could almost hear the footsteps of pilgrims who had traversed these shores centuries ago. The smell of the salty sea breeze mingled with the earthy fragrance of the surrounding landscape. It was as if the very essence of time was interwoven into the fabric of the air. As I approached Mont Saint-Michel, the sheer grandeur of the medieval architecture left me awe-struck. The island, with its abbey perched atop, stood as a testament to centuries of human ingenuity and resilience. The sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the island. It was the perfect moment to capture the ethereal beauty of Mont Saint-Michel amidst the remnants of a recent lightning storm. With careful precision, I set up my tripod near the edge of the river that embraced the island. The lightning storm had left the water turbulent, creating an extraordinary reflection of Mont Saint-Michel. As I framed the shot, excitement coursed through me, knowing that this photograph would be unlike any other ever taken. Yet, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, disaster almost struck. A sudden gust of wind knocked my tripod, and my camera teetered precariously on the edge. With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I lunged forward, saving my gear from plummeting into the river below. The narrow escape only fueled my determination to seize the perfect shot. I recalibrated the setup and pressed the shutter button, capturing the island as it bathed in the warm embrace of the setting sun. As the colors of the sky intensified, the abbey atop Mont Saint-Michel seemed to glow with an ethereal aura. This photograph was more than just an image; it was a representation of the island's storied history and the serenity of the moment. With the shot secured, I felt an overwhelming sense of fulfillment. I had embarked on a hero's journey, overcoming obstacles and capturing a moment of unparalleled beauty. This photograph of Mont Saint-Michel would forever be etched in my memory, a dream come true that not only impressed my family but also made me feel deeply connected to the history of this storied island.
