We are lepers in some way or another whether it be our health, minds, or spirits which are afflicted. When we face our imperfections, sins, and even those trials from God which we do not understand, we should be like the leper and kneel down and beg God to cleanse us of our afflictions. He might not heal us in the manner we expect or within the time of our choosing, but moved with compassion He will answer our prayers according to His Will, which is always for our best.
When we are in need of help do we seek to solve the problem ourselves or do we turn to God for help? How do we treat others who are ill in body, mind, or spirit? Do we avoid them or mirror the compassionate presence of Christ?
O Lord, if you wish you can make us clean.
Amen.
