ST. CECILIA
NEW YORK, NY
A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, "If
you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched
out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made
clean." - Mk 1:40-41
First Reading:
Leviticus, Chapter 13, Verses 1-2, 44-46 -
Compare and contrast the way lepers were treated in the
Old Testament (First Reading) with the way Jesus
treated them.
Second Reading:
1 Corinthians, Chapter 10, Verse 31,
St. Paul says, “Whether you eat or
drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of
God.” What is the “whatever you do” in your case?
During which of your day’s activities is it easy for you
to remember the presence of God? Which are hard?
Chapter 11, Verse 1 -
Gospel:
Using Jesus’
healing of the leper as an example, describe the new
world order that he was trying to establish. The old
laws were written on stone—where do you think Jesus’
new laws are written?
Mark, Chapter 1, Verses 40-45 -
