And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2:3-5. St. Pope John Paul II said, “The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities…Let Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, the paralytic sought to be near You! May we all seek to always be near You: spiritually, psychologically, mentally and even physically both in Your Word in the Eucharist. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
