Summary
In this packet we see the healing power of Jesus, and His desire to heal body and soul. Four Friends witness for us true charity as they bring their paralytic friend to the feet of Jesus. The virtue of Charity as well as the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Annointing of the Sick are emphasized. We are also faced with the same questions that those who witnessed the healing asked, "Is this magic or a miracle?" This power and charity is proof that Jesus is who He says He is...GOD.
