For today, picture the scene presented in the Gospel with Jesus restoring wholeness to the paralytic. Imagine the thoughts and feelings running through the paralytic now of being “freed” from the bondage (of disease and sinfulness).
Imagine, also, the hardened hearts of the religious establishment surrounding the scene, puffing stuffiness and judgement into the air. Imagine the witnesses to the miracle being converted at that moment to the love of Jesus. Where are you in this scene of God’s storybook?
Spiritual Reflection: To be astounded and believe in the mighty power of God.
Blessings of love,
Fr. Mark
