The theme of forgiveness is running through the texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today. The scribes and the Pharisees are questioning Jesus authority to forgive sins in the Gospel from Luke. Jesus is drawing crowds and Luke records that the power (from God) to heal was upon Him. The story reveals the faith of the friends of the paralyzed man to work in an extraordinary way to bring the man to Jesus. Isaiah continues to reveal that we need to expect the action of the Divine in our lives to be extraordinary. The limiting factors are within us. The decision to be absent from the Presence of the Divine through selfish choices (also known as sin) is ours. Hopefully the faith of our friends can literally carry us when we only see our afflictions.
