Lenten Reflections,Feb.29,12 Mt.9:1-9

In today's Gospel, we read about the healing of the paralysed man. Jesus forgives his sins first, offering him the chance to enjoy peace in his heart.
Today we are the paralysed people standing before Jesus, asking for healing from our own sinfulness. Only  we know what is ailing us, what is preventing us from being united with the Lord. Our arrogance, envy and lustful feelings are there preventing us from being united with the Lord.
His forgiveness is there for our asking. We shall ask the Lord to forgive all our sins and restore us to union with him.When our inner wounds are healed, we will be able to live in harmony with others and experience the peace that Jesus offers us.
Lord, heal me from my inner wounds. I have offended you in so many ways. Lord, forgive my sins and give me the grace to be united with you.
