Monday - Is 35.1 to 10 Ps 84 Luke 5.17-26: Today we have seen wondrous things.
Your sins are forgiven.
E 'was written by the prophet Isaiah is the most great poet that we know. Too bad that his songs are completely ignored by our teachers of letters, and then by the general public of the students. Yet the images have an immediacy so vivid that it seems to touch them with love, experiencing them firsthand. In today's passage there is described a "holy street" that only the pure and the wise, the redeemed, will go. "We rejoice in the desert and the parched land, the wilderness rejoice and blossom." The nature of party dresses, the animals lose their ruthlessness, the men feel full of energy running to freedom. And 'the clear allusion to the liberation from slavery in Babylon, considered as a second Exodus. Yet all this is meant to be only one figure. Think what it will be when the reality: It will not wait. Even the refrain of the psalm makes us say: Behold, our God comes to save us. " The second reading, the passage of the Gospel of Luke presents Jesus in action: he illuminates with his preaching arousing sympathy and admiration so crowded that people do listen to his teaching. Proclaims the forgiveness of sins, as a guarantee immediate healing of the paralytic lowered through the roof in front of him. The astonishment of the people for the healing of the paralytic is great, but we should be more surprised by the power that Jesus, as a true son of God, has, to forgive sins. The disease Physics has its own weight, no doubt, in the life of man, but the spiritual one that separates us from God and makes it worthy of eternal damnation, has a value with eternal consequences. This power Jesus lets the men in his name because sins are forgiven. A confession made with sincerity and eagerness to destroy a sinful life is more valuable than a paralyzed man to walk. The radical change of heart has more shattering effects of to buy the agility of the legs. Who can say how many changes of life, conduct occurring in the confessional? When Charles Chautard, a young wanderer and disbelief in the world, went to Monaco to discuss issues of faith, these said: Kneel down and makes' your confession. After there was no need to discuss. He took the way of the wilderness.
Newspaper To His Image "- comment by Msgr. Francesco Ruppi
As we prepare for the feast of the Immaculate, and soon after, to that of Christmas, the Lord makes us feel a word of hope, but also of joy: The hope comes from the fact that God forgives our sins, the joy that heals us from a lot of paralysis, which prevent us from walking to God The story of Luke is always moving, when the listen to church and when we read it in evangelism of mercy.
The people at the house of Peter at Capernaum throngs to bring patients from all over Galilee, from the roof so they lowered the bed of a paralytic, and Jesus says a word, the Pharisees, unheard of, "your sins are forgiven. " Criticism which claims to be the place of God, the only one who can forgive sins, Jesus does not respond with a theological discourse, but only says to the paralytic, 'Get up and walk. " When we confess the same thing happened: the Lord forgives sins and makes us rise to new life. It 'an urgent call to confess frequently, especially before major holidays and time of arrival, time of conversion and penance.
