Then some people appeared, bringing him a paralytic stretched out on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, ‘Courage, my child, your sins are forgiven.’
Mt.9:2
A paralytic is brought to Jesus by his friends. Their action reveals faith that fuels a double healing for the paralytic, healing of his body and forgiveness of his sins.
Jesus has never called me to be a Lone Ranger. I both need friends and need to be a friend. When this two way synergy is happening, there is church.
Lord Jesus, show me the people needing my friendship and help me be befriended today.
Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
