Gospel
Luke 5:12-16
'If you want to, you can cure me'
Jesus was in one of the towns when a man appeared, covered with leprosy. Seeing Jesus he fell on his face and implored him. ‘Sir,’ he said ‘if you want to, you can cure me.’ Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said, ‘Of course I want to! Be cured!’ And the leprosy left him at once. He ordered him to tell no one, ‘But go and show yourself to the priest and make the offering for your healing as Moses prescribed it, as evidence for them.’
His reputation continued to grow, and large crowds would gather to hear him and to have their sickness cured, but he would always go off to some place where he could be alone and pray.
Reflection
The reading show us Christ is a passionate person . He care for the people . In this case the key word is I want to. Christ want to heal us but do we allow him.
The second part stress the importance of prayer . Christ will always make time to pray. Do we?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus your death brought us life. May we continue to put our trust in you.
Amen
