February 15th, 2015 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Leprosy was a serious concern in the biblical world. To be declared a leper was to be condemned to a life apart from the community, living “outside the camp” in Moses’ day (v46), later outside the towns and villages. It was the task of the priest to declare someone unclean as a leper and, in the case of remission, to declare them clean and allow them to rejoin the community. The description of leprosy, detailed in Leviti-cus 13, makes it clear that biblical leprosy was not the same thing as what we call leprosy today. It could be contracted not only by people but also by cloth and even building materi-als and was something to be avoided because it was thought to be contagious. Paul calls the Corinthians to “do everything for the glory of God” (v31). Our task as disciples is to witness with our lives to God’s goodness and mercy. We are called to work not just for our own salvation but “that they [all/the many] may be saved” (v33). Finally, in words uncharacteristic of Paul, we are encouraged, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (11:1). The leper in today’s Gospel begs Jesus for help, “If you wish, you can make me clean” (v40). Though Jesus risks contracting leprosy and ritual uncleanliness, “moved with pity, he stretched out his hand [and] touched him” (v41). Mark tells us “the leprosy left him immediately” (v42), again empha-sizing Jesus’ power. Jesus then commands the man to fulfill the law of Moses by showing himself “to the priest” (v44), but instead the man “began to publicize the whole matter,” mak-ing it “impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly” (v45). For Reflection: Who are the lepers today, and how do I view them? Why are some good deeds better left unan-nounced? [Copyright © 2015 by Bruce Janiga. Published by Resource Publications, Inc. All
