Healing of the Cripple

ADVENT LANTERN (daily meditations)

December 7. The thoughts of dr. Jakubinyi György Archbishop Emeritus

The neighbours of the cripple do everything to get him to Jesus: they lower him from the roof. Jesus heals him, thus indicating that the one who can heal the sick can also forgive the sins. This means that he is the Son of God. Let us also overcome every barrier and reach Jesus, and lead the others to him, too, so that he can heal us and our brothers and sisters of  our sicknesses, and through a good confession forgive all our sins.
