   The leper in today’s Gospel approached Jesus confidently and humbly. He believed that Jesus could and would heal him.
   Normally a leper would be stoned if he came near a rabbi. Jesus not only grants the man his request, but he demonstrates the personal love, compassion, and tenderness of God.
   Jesus met the man's misery with compassion and tender kindness.
   He showed the love and mercy of God. This sign is more eloquent than words.
   Jesus touched the man and made him clean – not only physically but also spiritually.
 
 Father, inflame our hearts with your love and make us clean and whole in body, mind, and spirit, through Christ our Lord.
