Lv 13:1–2, 44–46; Ps 32:1–2, 5, 11;

1 Cor 10:31—11:1; Mk 1:40–45

In Jesus's time, leprosy was seen as punishment for sins involving speech, such as gossip and slander. People thought that persons with leprosy could con-taminate others, so they were separated from the community for the good of all. Quarantined from healthy members of society, lepers were considered the living dead.

Although forbidden to do so, one leper had the cour-age to reach out to Jesus, pleading, "If you will to do so, you can cure me!" Although contact with the man rendered Jesus ritually impure, he did something no one else dared to do. He touched the leper, saying, "I do will it. Be cured!" Jesus warned the man not to tell anyone lest the deed appear as mere wonder-working. But the man could not restrain himself and joyfully told everyone of his healing. Today, humanity is afflicted with a disease worse than leprosy — mor-al and spiritual sickness. Unless treated, it might prove fatal.

For Reflection: Do I pollute my environment by my words and actions? Do I take part in parish penance services to heal my wounds?
