REFLECTION:
What a profound and trusting faith this leper had! He comes to Jesus, but even before asking that Jesus heal him,
he makes the most profound profession of faith, saying that if it were Jesus’ will, he knew he could be made clean.
What’s amazing about this particular Gospel passage is how swiftly Jesus acted. There was nothing in between the leper’s words and Jesus’ action.
He simply stretched out his hand and touched the man and healed him. Faith, we are told, can move mountains. But that is, if that faith is genuine.
The faith and confidence in Jesus that the leper showed is such kind of faith, and it healed him, instantly. If we too; believed with the same intensity.
Imagine what the Lord could accomplish in and through us!
Pray for the grace to put your life completely in the Lord’s hands, ask for the gift of a faith that fully surrenders every single area of your life,
your work, your family, your relationships, to the will of the Father.
