Healing with a caring touch is a hallmark of the ministry of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. In last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus cured Peter’s mother-in-law by offering her his hand, and in this week’s Gospel, he touches the leper and makes him clean. While we may or may not be suffering from illness like Peter’s mother-in-law or the leper, there is no doubt that each of us can be lifted up and made clean when we seek the loving, healing touch of our Lord.

As the pandemic rages on and so many of us face fear of illness and confusion in seeking vaccination, the healing touch of Jesus comes in many forms. There may be days when, like the psalmist, we pray, “I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble.” We are indeed in a time of trouble. There is no script for how each of us is supposed to react to this challenging moment in time. ......Read More Here

Lord of Light,

You have looked upon your creation and affirmed its goodness.

Sharpen our vision so that we may see the world with Your eyes.

With Your eyes there will be no strangers-

Only the children of God waiting to be welcomed.

With Your eyes we will not miss the exquisite beauty

present all around us

That stirs our hearts and gives glory to You.

With Your eyes we can see the work You have left for us-

To bring about Your dream for us-

That all may  be

one.

Lord of Light,

You see all things.

Sharpen our vision so that we may see the world

With Your eyes.   Amen
