Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory for ever!

Slava Isusu Christu! Slava i vo viki!

From the Fathers…

St. Jerome
It is easier said than done. Whether the sins of the paralytic were forgiven, only he
who forgave them knew for sure. “Arise and walk”: both he who arose and those
who saw him arise were able to vouch for this. Hence there is a bodily sign in
order to demonstrate a spiritual sign, though its impact is to curb the imperfections
of body and soul. And we are given an understanding of sin and many bodily
weaknesses to come. Perhaps, too, sins are forgiven first, so that with the causes of
infirmity removed health may be restored.

priests have been renewed and encouraged in their priestly vocations.
