Monday 5 December 2016
My Lord in the gospel for today I admire the friends of the sick man , who were not deterred by seeing the difficulties but with a living faith brought their companion to You so, You may heal him !! This is a beautiful story , today I am offering my prayers for those who want to help, most of all for my teacher/carers who day after day the same way embrace the children in their care and try with love and prayer to bring them into Your presence so You may heal, teach, comfort them !! Bless my Lord those who have the intention to help by bending down to the needy   the carers, my colleagues , our supporters who by seeing the fruits of their labour , may their heart be filled by joy, light , live in peace with their children here on earth and  may their receive eternal life as a reward for their work !!
With love,
Father Csaba

Jesus Heals a Paralytic
On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and oteachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And pthe power of the Lord was with him to heal. And behold, some men were bringing ron a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,  but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on sthe roof and let him down with his bed tthrough the tiles into the midst before Jesus.  And uwhen he saw their faith, he said, “Man, vyour sins are forgiven you.”  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks wblasphemies? xWho can forgive sins but God alone?”  When Jesus yperceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that zthe Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”  And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, aglorifying God.  And amazement seized them all, and they aglorified God and were filled awith awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
Luke 5, 17-26
