Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5,12-16.
It
happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where
Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him,
and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.”
Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately.
Then
he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest
and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof
for them.”
The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments,
but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.
Show yourself to Jesus
1)Leprosy: this was a disease that is considered impure. It excluded you from society and your family. Today I would like to talk to you about moral leprosy where you isolate yourself from other, you don´t want to share anything with anybody, you enclose yourself in your room or isolate yourself just looking at your cel. Phone. This isolation is due to fear, shame or pride. You feel impure because you feel if you share or talk about what is bothering you, you will feel judged. You feel like you are festering inside and you are turning into an angry and negative person. This leprosy will lead to distance yourself from others and enclose yourself to the world. There are only wounds and pain that is inside you and does not come out.
2) Purified: Go to Jesus and ask Him to heal you, open your heart and express everything within you. Write your life story, this helps to objectify your wounds. Talk to a priest about your wounds, fears and mistakes because they will listen and not judge. They will accompany you in your relief. Look for friends that keep you company and accommodate your needs. Do not think you are a bother. True friends always help, but if you isolate yourself nobody will be able to help you. God wants to purify you, but it is imperative that you want to be purified first. Do you want to heal? Have you talked to someone about what happened to you? Are you afraid to be judged by what you did?
3) Desert: It is very important to withdraw yourself and meditate. From the silent and quiet moments, try to reflect how important your relationship with God is. Or when you get home instead of turning the music or the television it is enough to contemplate the silence. There are internal noises that makes us crazy and to shut them off we used external noises to substitute them. Look for you desert where you can be alone and quiet. Do you have it?
May God bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
