7th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B 22 Feb 2009

Click here to download and listen to this homily (19 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 8:30 am Mass.  Seeing the faith of the friends of the paralytic Jesus says, "Child, your sins are forgiven."  Healing flows from the forgiveness of sins.  Let us learn to forgive as taught to us in the Lord's Payer.  "Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others' quilt."  Then we will be able to rise, pickup our mat, and go home.

Readings: Isaiah 43:18-19, 21-22, 24b-25; Psalm 41; 2 Corinthians 1:18-22; Mark 2:1-12.
