                    [Summary] => 
This is what we can gather from that gospel episode of Christ curing a paralytic. (cfr. Mk 2,1-12) That’s because it is our spiritual health that has greater importance than our bodily health. After all, as he said, “The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.” (Jn 6,63) Of course, our bodily health is also important, but it depends on our spiritual health more than anything else. The real health of our body does not depend only on the kind of food we eat or the genes we inherit.

                    [Summary] => 
This is what we can gather from that gospel episode of Christ curing a paralytic. (cfr. Mk 2,1-12) That’s because it is our spiritual health that has greater importance than our bodily health. After all, as he said, “The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.” (Jn 6,63) Of course, our bodily health is also important, but it depends on our spiritual health more than anything else. The real health of our body does not depend only on the kind of food we eat or the genes we inherit.
