PARALYIC, SUNDAY OF THE

PARALYIC, SUNDAY OF THE – The fourth Sunday of Pascha is dedicated to Christ’s healing of the paralytic ^{(Jn 5)}. The man is healed by Christ while waiting to be put down into the pool of water. Through baptism in the church we, too, are healed and saved by Christ for eternal life. Thus, in the church, we are told, together with the paralytic, to sin no more that nothing worse befall you” ^{(Jn 5:14)}.
