Mc 2, 1-12
Cuando Jesús volvió a Cafarnaúm, corrió la voz de que estaba en casa, y muy pronto se aglomeró tanta gente, que ya no había sitio frente a la puerta. Mientras él enseñaba su doctrina, le quisieron presentar a un paralítico, que iban cargando entre cuatro. Pero como no podían acercarse a Jesús por la cantidad de gente, quitaron parte del techo, encima de donde estaba Jesús, y por el agujero bajaron al enfermo en una camilla.
Viendo Jesús la fe de aquellos hombres, le dijo al paralítico: “Hijo, tus pecados te quedan perdonados”. Algunos escribas que estaban allí sentados comenzaron a pensar: “¿Por qué habla éste así? Eso es una blasfemia. ¿Quién puede perdonar los pecados sino sólo Dios?”
Conociendo Jesús lo que estaban pensando, les dijo: “¿Por qué piensan así? ¿Qué es más fácil, decirle al paralítico: ‘Tus pecados te son perdonados’ o decirle: ‘Levántate, recoge tu camilla y vete a tu casa’? Pues para que sepan que el Hijo del hombre tiene poder en la tierra para perdonar los pecados –le dijo al paralítico–: Yo te lo mando: levántate, recoge tu camilla y vete a tu casa”.
El hombre se levantó inmediatamente, recogió su camilla y salió de allí a la vista de todos, que se quedaron atónitos y daban gloria a Dios, diciendo: “¡Nunca habíamos visto cosa igual!”

GospelMK 2:1-12
When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days,
it became known that he was at home.
Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them,
not even around the door,
and he preached the word to them.
They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd,
they opened up the roof above him.
After they had broken through,
they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him,
“Child, your sins are forgiven.”
Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,
“Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming.
Who but God alone can forgive sins?”
Jesus immediately knew in his mind what
they were thinking to themselves,
so he said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’
or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk’?
But that you may know
that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth”
–he said to the paralytic,
“I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.”
He rose, picked up his mat at once,
and went away in the sight of everyone.
They were all astounded
and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”

Meditacion:
Hoy meditamos de "La palabra entre nosotros"
Casi todos tenemos algo en común con el paralítico del Evangelio de hoy. San Pablo dice que todos hemos pecado y estamos privados de la gloria de Dios (Romanos 3, 23). Todos hemos preferido seguir nuestro propio camino en lugar del camino que nos muestra Aquel que nos creó y, por lo tanto, conspiramos contra nuestro propio bien (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica 398). Lo que necesitamos es escuchar que Jesús nos diga: “Hijo, tus pecados te quedan perdonados” (Marcos 2, 5).
Sí, ¡tus pecados te son perdonados! Aunque lo que hayas hecho en tu vida sea grave, por las razones que sean, Jesús te perdona. Nunca se ha visto en el mundo una transformación mayor que sucede en una persona cuando sabe y declara que Dios la ha perdonado: ¡Claro! Ya no hay por qué seguir sintiéndose paralizado por el remordimiento ni la vergüenza. Si crees que eres demasiado débil o incapaz de servir a Dios, o incluso para seguirlo por el camino del bien, el Señor te puede fortalecer mediante la poderosa corriente de su misericordia y su gracia.
Sí, hermano, ¡tus pecados te son perdonados! Es Jesús quien lo ha hecho posible, gracias a su muerte en la cruz y su resurrección gloriosa. A él se le ha dado toda autoridad en el cielo y en la tierra, y ahora él te dice: “Hijo, tus pecados te quedan perdonados.”
Si nunca has oído que Jesús te dice estas maravillosas palabras, corre al Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Si es necesario, rompe el techo de la casa y baja tú mismo allí ante la presencia del Señor para que él te diga: “Hijo, tus pecados te quedan perdonados.”
Deja que el Espíritu Santo te muestre lo que Jesús quiere sanar en tu vida. Quizás la ira y el rencor, o los resentimientos y traumas del pasado, o bien malos hábitos o adicciones destructivas. Cualquiera sea tu situación, ya sea de salud física, emocional o espiritual, o las circunstancias por las que estés pasando, Cristo está contigo y quiere que confíes en él. No te cohíbas, porque él te ama, te sana y te dice: “Hijo, tus pecados te quedan perdonados.”
“Amado Señor, perdóname, te lo ruego. Cúrame, Señor, de todo lo que necesite sanar. Renueva mi vida, Señor, y ayúdame a comenzar de nuevo y dedicarme a vivir para ti.” Amen

Today we meditate on "The word among us"
Almost everyone has something in common with the paralytic of today's Gospel. St. Paul says that we have all sinned and are deprived of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We have all preferred to follow our own path instead of the path that He who created us shows us and, therefore, we conspire against our own good (Catechism of the Catholic Church 398). What we need is to hear Jesus tell us: "Son, your sins are forgiven" (Mark 2, 5).
Yes, your sins are forgiven! Although what you have done in your life is serious, for whatever reasons, Jesus forgives you. There has never been a major transformation in the world that happens in a person when he knows and declares that God has forgiven him: There is no longer why to continue feeling paralyzed by remorse or shame. If you believe that you are too weak or unable to serve God, or even to follow him on the path of good, the Lord can strengthen you through the powerful current of his mercy and grace.
Yes, brother, your sins are forgiven! It is Jesus who has made it possible, thanks to his death on the cross and his glorious resurrection. He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth, and now he tells you: "Son, your sins are forgiven."
If you have never heard that Jesus tells you these wonderful words, run to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If necessary, break the roof of the house and lower yourself there in the presence of the Lord for him to say: "Son, your sins are forgiven."
Let the Holy Spirit show you what Jesus wants to heal in your life. Perhaps anger and resentment, or resentments and traumas of the past, or bad habits or destructive addictions. Whatever your situation, whether of physical, emotional or spiritual health, or the circumstances you are going through, Christ is with you and wants you to trust him. Do not shy away, because he loves you, heals you and says: "Son, your sins are forgiven."
“Dear Lord, forgive me, I beg you. Heal me, Lord, of everything I need to heal. Renew my life, Lord, and help me to start over and dedicate myself to live for you. ”Amen
