Word for Thursday July 6. St. Maria Goretti, Virgin and Martyr.

“And suddenly some people brought him a paralytic stretched out on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, ‘Take comfort, my child, your sins are forgiven.’ And now some scribes said to themselves, ‘This man is being blasphemous.’ Knowing what was in their minds Jesus said,
‘Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts?” Matthew 9:2-4. Charles Stanley said,
“When you stray from His Presence, he longs for you to come back.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus
while You praise some for their faith You rebuke others for their wicked thoughts. Forgive us for
the times we are in the company of the scribes with wicked thoughts. Amen. “Let your light
shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
