Have you ever been sitting at home bored and restless, feeling like you are going nowhere? Do you pull out your phone, turn on the television, or reach for a drink to numb this restlessness? Your home is supposed to be a place of reflection, intimacy, and growth. But in these moments, it is all too easy to become paralyzed and cease to walk in your vocation. We all have been given 24 hours in a day and as a disciple, you are a steward of that time. Today, Jeff reflects on two Bible passages: Jesus healing a paralyzed man (Luke 5:24) and the faith of the Centurion (Matthew 8:5-13). Through these two passages, Jeff provides 3 things you can do to break free, rise up, and walk.

*Snippet from the Show: *

We all experience these kinds of paralysis in our life, but it points to something deeper and that is that we cannot get to heaven on our own. We need Jesus, we are paralyzed in terms of our eternal destiny and we desperately need him to help us. 

SHOWNOTES

Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man 
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the one who was paralyzed—“I say to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home.”(Luke 5:24)

The Faith of the Centurion 
When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible distress.” And he said to him, “I will come and cure him.” The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and the slave does it.” When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one[d] in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.” And the servant was healed in that hour. (Matthew 8:5-13)

3 Things You Can Do To Rise Up and Walk

<ol>
<li>Identify your vocation, father, mother, husband or wife, single, priest, deacon. What area of your vocation are you continually sitting in the lazy boy instead of walking in your call?</li>
<li>Pick a good book and start reading it when you would otherwise be watching squirrels roller skate on Youtube.</li>
<li>Are their any habits that you are caught in that are costing you big time? TV, eating. Exchange this for bible reading or adoration.</li>
</ol>

Paralyzed at Home

Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. God uses what we have and gives us what we need. It is often very tempting to forget the heart of God. To forget that He notices us, delights in us, and rejoices in us. When the focus shifts from His love to our insufficiency and feelings of insignificance, He reminds us of the truth.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from January 20, 2019:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Isaiah 62:1-5</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalms 96:1-3, 7-10</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">1 Corinthians 12:4-11</dt> John 2:1-11

What tools are available to parents who want to share the faith with their children? One tool is faith-filled children’s books! Today, Jeff Cavins is joined by children’s book author Claudia McAdam. Together they discuss the benefits of faith-filled children’s books as well as Claudia’s new books: A Miracle for Micah and The Real Presence.

Snippet from the Show 
If parents do not teach their children the truth and beauty of the faith and to help them fall in love with Jesus, they will not find it in the secular world.
