The familiar story of the paralytic whose sins are forgiven along with his healing (Mt.9: 1-8), reminds us that Jesus can forgive sins as well as physically (or emotionally) heal us. Nothing is beyond his power. Our doubts, our lack of faith stand in the way. We don't go as far as the scribes in questioning the power or authority of Jesus to forgive us, but we might not be wholeheartedly convinced that repentance and forgiveness are possible. We need to pray daily for an increase of faith that indeed, Jesus can and does forgive us. May we come to him with simple faith and ask for the grace to believe as well as to be forgiven.
