IERTARE ȘI VINDECARE. PREDICĂ LA DUMINICA A 2-A DIN POSTUL MARE
FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. SERMON ON THE 2ND SUNDAY FROM THE GREAT LENT

Summary/Abstract: In the second Sunday of Great Lent, the Holy Gospel is saying about the healing of a sick that has been brought in front of Jesus by four man. The Gospel doesn’t say that they were relatives: the children of the sick man, a mother, a father, brothers, but it simply said that there were four of them. They were simply his friends, maybe – neighbors. They did their best not for themselves but for the sick man. After all, not every man will try to climb up the roof of somebody else’s house, strip it, lift the stretcher with a sick man there and then lower it with the help of ropes. We can imagine how inconvenient and hard it was. But at any price they wanted to get into the house where Christ was. And Christ saw their faith in this effort and diligence. And the main thing that He saw was, of course, the love towards this man. They were fussing not about themselves but about him, they were waiting for his cure.
