From the desk of Fr. Daniel, c.m.m.
Il nous guérit
Le lépreux, dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui, supplie Jésus de le guérir. Si tu le veux, tu le peux, dit-il à Jésus. Et Jésus lui imposa les mains et le guérit. Pour lui, c'est une vie nouvelle qui commence. De malade, impur, intouchable, rejeté par tous il devient quelqu'un, accepté de nouveau dans la communauté. Il a d'abord eu le courage d'approcher de Jésus et de le supplier.
Nous portons tous en nous de la lèpre, des cicatrices de nos péchés, de nos faiblesses, de nos indifférences, de nos paroles mal intentionnées. Osons-nous aller vers Jésus en le suppliant de nous guérir? Car lui, Jésus, il le veut toujours.
He heals us
The leper in today's Gospel, begs Jesus to heal him. If you wish, you can, he said to Jesus. And Jesus laid his hands and healed him. For him, it's a new life that begins. Sick, unclean, untouchable, rejected by everyone he becomes someone, accepted back into the community. He first had the courage to approach Jesus and beg him.
We all carry within us of leprosy, the scars of our sins, our weaknesses, our indifferences, our malicious words. Dare we go to Jesus and beg him to heal us? For him, Jesus, he always wants.
