For
Your Information
|
Forgiveness,
too, is a gift from God. Freed
from the paralysis of sin, the
man in today’s Gospel was
able to stand and give witness to
the power of God. How do I let
sin cripple me? Am I a good
steward of the gift of God’s
forgiveness?

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Mark 2:1-12
Four friends of a paralyzed
man in today’s gospel story prove
that “Perseverance pays off.”
Jesus is surrounded by such a crowd that
the only way to reach him is through the
roof. The friends lower the man through a
hole in the roof and deposit him on a mat
at the feet of Jesus. Their efforts are
rewarded when Jesus not only heals the man
but also forgives his sins.
The religious authorities accuse
Jesus of blasphemy because God alone can
forgive sins. But Jesus assures them that
he “has authority to forgive sins on
earth.”
They are temporarily silenced. The
crowd, however, loudly praises God for
Jesus’ healing power.
1.) How have you sometimes used your
imagination and your skills to help
others?
2.) Who has helped you in a way that
you will always remember?
3.) Why is it important for
followers of Jesus never to give up on
trying to help others?
4.) Why do you think Jesus forgave
the man’s sins before he healed his
body?
5.) If you had been there, what
might you have said to the authorities who
criticized Jesus?
