ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS - Comments From the Chair - 16 March 2021

#CureOnASabbath #ManParalyzedForThirtyEightYears #ProfessorAndTheRocks #SweatSmallStuff TOPIC: DO YOU SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE PRESENCE OF JESUS? First Reading: Ezekiel 47:1-9, 12 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9 Verse Before the Gospel: Psalms 51:12A, 14A Gospel: John 5:1-16 In today’s gospel reading, a man paralyzed for thirty eight years is approached by Jesus. Unlike many of those Jesus cured who approached Him for healing, it is Jesus, this time, who takes the initiative and asks him, “Do you want to be well?” This is the 343rd installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
