Faith Book

 

"FAITH BOOK" offers Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run.  "Faith Book" is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

 


Faith Book

6th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (B) - FEBRUARY 12, 2012

Leviticus 13: 1-2, 44-46; Psalm 32; I Corinthians 10: 31-11:1; Mark 1: 40-45

From today’s Gospel reading:

Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand,

Touched the leper and said to him,

"I do will it. Be made clean."

Reflection:

Rather than stepping back from the leper who approached him, Jesus felt pity for him and touched him. He bridged the gap between the "clean" and "unclean," the "respectable" insiders and the "disrespectable" outsiders. As his disciples we are to do the same.

So we ask ourselves:

  • When have I experienced being an outsider?
  • Who reached out and bridged the gap to include me?
  • How can I do that for someone else, an outsider?
