Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Our gestures are real examples of exactly what
we are feeling and believing. On this
last Sunday before the start of Lent, we are challenged to consider what we
truly do believe and what our relationship is with God. The gestures of the leper expressed a true
faith in Jesus to heal as well as a real need for compassion and love. Jesus reacted with His gesture of true
compassion, just as He does for each of us.
As St. Paul reminds us in the second reading today, we must do
everything for the glory of God. Perhaps
our pre-Lenten prayer today can be to give us the selflessness to demonstrate
by word and gesture our true love of God by our love of each other.
