Weekly Gospel Reflection

Yesterday's Gospel reading features the healing of the paralytic. St. Mark writes that there were so many people crowded around Jesus to hear Him preach. So many people were crowded in a house, in all the rooms, in the hallway, out into the front door, out to the corridor surrounding the house. So many people that the paralytic man had to be lowered THROUGH THE ROOF! in order for Jesus to see him.

The Gospel reading from yesterday was Nathanael's and Jesus' encounter with each other, when Jesus tells Nathanael that He saw him under the fig tree.
