Weekly Gospel Reflection
Welcome to the 4th week of the Great Fast! How is Christ inviting us to walk more closely with Him through the desert, especially in this past Sunday’s Gospel?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.
Weekly Gospel Reflection
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.
