He rose and went home

“‘Rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.’ He rose and went home.” (MT 9: 6-7)

So simple, so easy, so effective and doable only by God’s love. Our Lord comes to us with His love, not as a mighty, respected and distant God, but as a friendly, compassionate and merciful Son of God. Whatever He did was oriented to “entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.”

“God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
