Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday, February 15th, 2015
6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to
him from everywhere." Nothing could stop the crowds from
gathering. Men, women, and children traveled from near and
far--everywhere--to find Jesus. Even when he was not easily
accessible, even when he was in deserted places that were probably
remote, hard to find, and not welcoming to weary pilgrims, they
found him. Word had spread quickly about the miraculous healing
of the leprous man. And people wanted to know what it was all
about. Undoubtedly, once they found Jesus, they knew that this was
no ordinary man. Yes, he had the power to cure illnesses and drive
out demons. But more than that, he had the power to change hearts.
His words of compassion and mercy, and the actions that backed
them up, must have caused many a conversion during those
encounters in the deserted places.
Whether it was simple curiosity or profound faith that led all of
those people to find Jesus we'll never know. It was most likely some
of both. But regardless of the motivation, once they found him
everyone could see Jesus for who he really was. Although we don't
have the opportunity to see him in person, we do have the chance to
search for Jesus and to find him. Sometimes, he may seem remote.
Maybe we don't automatically feel his presence. Perhaps, when
times are tough, we wonder where he is hiding. But when we
persevere in our journey by praying, reading the Bible, and receiving
the sacraments, we too can find the Lord. And as we bring our needs
to him, Jesus will be "moved with pity" for us as well and will
extend to us the healing love that has transformed so many hearts
throughout Christian history.

6º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
En tiempos de Jesús, si una persona se enfermaba casi siempre era
considerado como un castigo de Dios. La persona enferma, además
del sufrimiento que le causaba la enfermedad, era considerada
pecadora. El enfermo era excluido socialmente. No inspiraba
sentimientos de compasión o ternura. Por el contrario, era
repugnado y nadie se le acercaba. La peor enfermedad era la lepra.
Un leproso tenía que abandonar la ciudad y vivir fuera de ella, lejos
de su familia y amigos. ¡Qué terrible situación! Porque además, si
alguien sin darse cuenta se le acercaba al leproso, éste debía de gritar
"¡soy impuro!" "El que haya sido declarado enfermo de lepra, traerá
la ropa descosida, la cabeza descubierta, se cubrirá la boca e irá
gritando: '¡Estoy contaminado! ¡Soy impuro!'" (Lv 13, 45-46). Los
leprosos sufrían por partida doble en el cuerpo y el espíritu: dolor
físico por un lado y sentir la condena por el abandono de Dios, por el
otro.
Sin embargo, Jesús ve todo y actúa contracorriente. Acercándose al
enfermo, le toca sin miedo a contaminarse y con este milagro
confirma que la salud es un derecho de la persona. Y más
importante aún, que esta persona no es castigada por Dios: "Se le
acercó a Jesús un leproso para suplicarle de rodillas: 'Si tú quieres,
puedes curarme'. Jesús compadeció de él, y extendiendo la mano, lo
tocó y le dijo: '¡Sí quiero: Sana!". ¿Qué compromiso nos queda al
escuchar este Evangelio? El Papa Francisco nos impulsa a ser
