Jesus forgives sin and makes us spiritually healthy because of our love and faith for Him. So was it with the paralytic, brought to Him even in the midst of His most busy time. He is never too busy to help us, nothing is ever too much.

REFLECTION ON THE HEALING OF SIMON’S MOTHER IN LAW 16 JANUARY 2013
The physical curing of Simon’s mother in law and many others were miracles proving Jesus’s supernatural power. However, it is the restoration of the health of our souls by moving towards Him that we can receive this gift every day of our lives. Notice in this picture she moves her hands out towards Him, her eyes transfixed on his face. Imagine we could look into the face of God in our everyday lives, and be like the others in this painting, adoring and basking in His glory with love.
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 12 JANUARY 2013
I have had the privilege to be the “best man” on a couple of occasions. The metaphor John uses in the scripture today is a really beautiful one.
We stand before God in awe of his work around us every day, and have been chosen to introduce Him to others. In John’s case it was preaching and baptism, bringing others into communion with Him for their entire lives. Let us try and renew that commitment today during each hour of the day, rejoicing in his love and blessings.
