Friday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time : Mercy for the Sinner

Gospel Reading : Matthew 9:2b

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.”
 
Reflect, today, upon how courageous you are in asking God for forgiveness and how humbly you are willing to acknowledge your sin. Making an act of humility like this is one of the most important things you can do.
My forgiving Lord, give me courage.
Give me courage, especially, to humble myself before You and to acknowledge all my sin.
In this humble acknowledgment, help me to also seek Your daily forgiveness in my life.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
