From Morning Prayer:

 

Saint Anthony the Abbot, Founder of monasticism, Patron of gravediggers

 

 

And when they could not get near Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

 

And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic,

 

"Child, your sins are forgiven."

 

Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak like this? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" And immediately Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they questioned like this within themselves, said to them,

 'Your sins are forgiven,'

 

or to say,

 

 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

 

But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—He said to the paralytic—"I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."

 

And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all;

 

(from the Gospel of Mk. 2: 1-12)

 

I pray that this text finds you sharing the concrete miracles that Jesus has done in your life to Glorify God.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of such great faith.

 

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany from last Monday (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

 

Simplicity, Humility, and Praise  🙏 ✌️
