The power of healing within a community requires all of humanity to truly see another and demonstrate authentic presence. Jesus invites us to see the plight of another, like the four men saw the paralyzed man in the crowd in Mark 2:1-12, and to break through barriers so that we all experience the healing power of a God who not only heals the man’s disease, but also heals the societal illness. This journey requires all of us to daily practice humility and honesty.
