In the Gospel today we have the story of the paralytic who was brought to the house where
Jesus was preaching and they let him down through the roof and the first thing Jesus
says to him is child your sins are forgiven he doesn't address healing him he just says child
your sins are forgiven child he says and he forgave his sins probably because he saw that
he was sorrowful of heart he saw it right into his heart but also perhaps because of the prayers
of those who brought the paralytic and asking for God's forgiveness perhaps he became a paralyzed
man through
sin and God forgave because he came he came and asked for forgiveness perhaps we can think about
this in the spirituality of Saint Therese who would say who would say of course she's only
only living and teaching the teachings of Jesus that if we come to our Lord as a child that God
will always forgive us we come to him asking for forgiveness we say we're sorry and we will
strive not to do it again
and if we come in that childlike heart that our Lord will always forgive a father here a human
father will not not forgive their child who comes to comes to him asking for forgiveness and wants
to be reconciled to the father it's only those sinners who who are proud and who are do not love
those pride and love calls upon us the justice of God humility
and humility and love call upon us call upon us the mercy of God so we come before God if we commit
sin we do something wrong we come to our Lord we don't turn away from him out of shame and and hide
and and cower and if we do that we can expect the justice of God instead if we come we always come
back to our Lord always come back to our Lord whether we commit fault or whether we live a life
pleasing to our Lord we keep coming back to our Lord and we will always come back to our Lord and
our Lord we very carefully and we are always McGendi with a little we are always
coming back to our our loving father as a child always thinking
about ourselves as children little little and the scripture says the little
always receive the mercy of God so our Lord is eager to forgive us it's it's
the first thing he wants to show towards us it's the first thing he showed to this
paralytic man so let's remember the teaching the spirituality of st. Therese the spiritual masculine
how to become opin entrada
a child in our loving
Father's arms, the loving
Father's life, and
to carry that childlike heart
throughout our life.
