Luke 5:12-16
Once, when he was in one of the cities,
there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face
to the ground and begged him, ‘Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.’
Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, ‘I do choose. Be made
clean.’ Immediately the leprosy left him. And he ordered him to tell no one.
‘Go’, he said, ‘and show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make
an offering for your cleansing, for a testimony to them.’ But now more than ever
the word about Jesus spread abroad; many crowds would gather to hear him and to
be cured of their diseases. But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.
Reflection
To whom I will turn to when I need healing?
How is my faith in Jesus?
