“Which is easier to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say ‘Rise pick up your mat and walk? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’ he said to the paralytic ‘I say to you rise, pick up your mat
and go home.” Mark 2:9-11. Pope Francis said, “Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You forgave his sins first, then came the healing of his body. If we understood the gift we have in the Sacrament of Penance, and the importance of cleaning the inside, we would have lines waiting to receive it. Grant us the grace
Lord to seek You often in this sacrament. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
