I - Sam. 8: 4-7, 10-22
II - Mk. 2: 1-12
IN FAITH AND PERSEVERANCE WAIT FOR GOD
Today we shall base our reflection on the four men who carried the paralysed man in bed to Jesus, to be cured. The faith and perseverance of the four men made the miracle possible for the paralysed person they carried. Their faith that Jesus could heal him and their perseverance in finding the way by climbing the roof top, removing the tiles and letting the paralysed to reach Jesus surrounded by the crowd. The Bible is silent about who these four men were. Whoever they might be but their act of faith and perseverance brought healing the paralysed man. May the Gospel passage inspire us to be ardent, persevering and praying in faith for the miracles in the life of self and that of the other. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: "Lord Jesus, fill me with your grace to persevere in faith"
