Friendship: Monday, December 11th, 2017

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

“And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed;
they were trying to bring him in and set him in his presence. 
But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd,
they went up on the roof
and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles
into the middle in front of Jesus.” 
·      Friendship!
·      Who are your friends?
·      They were also clever
·      Several times Jesus affirmed such intuition and creativity
Spiritual and physical
·      Spiritual: “As for you, your sins are forgiven." 
·      Physical: “Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,'
or to say, 'Rise and walk'? 
But that you may know
that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"–
he said to the one who was paralyzed,
"I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home."
