Short Reflection for the 6th Sunday in the Ordinary Time (B)
Readings: Leviticus 13: 1-2. 44-46; 1 Corinthians 10:31- 11:1; Mark 1: 40-45
Gospel Passage: “Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, ‘I do will it. Be made clean’." (Mk.1: 41)
Reflection: We, too, need to feel Jesus’ “touch” and hear his voice “I do will it…” In one sense, all of us are suffering from the leprosy of sin. But that disease is not our truest self, our deepest nature. Our true nature is inherently beautiful, made in the divine image and likeness. This is what Jesus would restore.
