H ave you ever had a mo-ment of silence where you realized that the mundane

tasks of life were preven ng you from living to the fullest? While we do need to take care of the daily ne-cessi es, some mes we live a half-hearted life of “just ge ng by.” But Jesus wants to give us life to the full. He wants to remove the things in our life that prevent us from appre-cia ng the beauty around us, the gi s in our life, and truly experienc-ing the plans he has in store for us.

Levi cus 12:1-2, 44-46 Today’s reading from Levi cus gives us some background for the Gospel reading. The Law of Moses con-tained many rules for ritual purity regarding washings, bathings, cloth-ing, dead bodies, and bodily prob-lems. Levi cus 13 appoints the Isra-elite priests as the official diagnos -cians of skin disease. If a person was ruled ritually unclean because of a skin problem, then he would be ex-cluded from worshipping with God’s people at the Tabernacle or Temple. In fact, he would have to live apart from the people, outside the camp and shout “unclean, unclean” (Lev 13:45) at people who came too near, so as to limit the risk of the conta-gion spreading. Leprosy, which was and is a debili-ta ng skin disease, was a physical sign for spiritual impurity. In the same way that bodily leprosy would exclude a person from spiritual com-munion with the Lord, sin excludes us from God’s presence and breaks our rela onship with him. While we are in sin, we cannot truly worship God. Yet the ancient Israelites had no solu on for leprosy. One could

merely separate from the people but never be cured. Jesus brings a solu-

on for the leprosy of sin. In fact, he

is the solu on. It is by his blood that our sins can be forgiven, and we can again be made clean before God.

1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20 Here St. Paul concludes a long dis-cussion of how our ac ons and our judgments of others intersect in Chris an prac ce. Some of the early Chris ans regarded most meat avail-able in the Roman world as sinful to eat, since most of it had been offered to idols. However, Paul in-sists that objec vely there is no problem with the meat. The problem lies when ea ng the meat would cause scandal, leading pagans or other Chris ans astray. Paul wraps up this discussion with our short reading of his more general princi-ple: to do everything for God’s glory, whether in ea ng or abstaining.

Paul’s teaching reveals the difficulty of living the Chris an moral life in community. While each of us is re-sponsible for obeying God’s law in the par cular circumstances of our lives, we also must be aware of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Their rela onship with God might hinge upon our behavior, and we need to be aware of the consciences of those around us, who may have scruples that we do not. We do not want to lead anyone into sin by our behavior, but rather lead them to Christ. Being sensi ve to the spiritual needs of others and their disposi on before God will help us to please them and God at the same me.

Mark 1:40-45 Our reading records one of the first miracles in the Gospel of Mark: the healing of the leper. Under normal circumstances, a Jewish priest could perform a diagnosis but no healing measures because leprosy was a permanent condi on. Yet Jesus does not merely diagnose this leper. In-stead, he touches the leper with his hand. Again, under normal circum-stances in the Old Testament, you would never touch a leper because you could also contract the disease. However, in today’s Gospel, the Eternal High Priest reaches out and makes the leper clean. Jesus’s purity cleanses the impurity of the disease and eradicates its power in the man’s life. Even though Jesus is in the process of revolu onizing the whole religion of Israel, he commands the healed man to follow procedure and get himself reinstated by a Jewish priest and perform the Temple rituals pre-scribed for cleansed lepers (Levi cus

14). Most of us don’t have leprosy, but since leprosy serves as a power-ful metaphor for sin, we can iden fy with the leper in this gospel. He comes to Jesus in need. He seeks out the Savior but can’t really touch him. He needs to be touched by Jesus, and the Lord responds in power. In the same way, Jesus reaches out to heal us from the “leprosy” of sin.

Please watch the short six-minute Opening the Word video on FORMED.org. How do you try and live out St. Paul’s words to the Corinthians to do all that you do for the glory of God? We all have something that needs to be healed in our lives: physical, emo-

onal, or spiritual ailments that need the touch of Jesus. Where do you need him to heal you today?

Discernment of Spirits St. Igna us of Loyola had a phrase “ad maiorem Dei gloriam,” which translates “all for the greater honor and glory of God.” His point was that any work that is not evil or sinful can bring God glory if we choose to do it with a heart for him. We can apply this phrase especially to the neces-sary, mundane daily tasks in our lives. Things like laundry and lawn mowing can be done for God’s glory because they bring order and beauty into our family’s life. We can live out our vo-ca on to the full by bringing this goodness into our home for God’s glory. How will you live “ad maiorem Dei gloriam” today?

Jesus Heals In Jesus’s me, if an “unclean” per-son touched a clean person, the clean person was rendered unclean as well. This is why people with dis-

eases like leprosy were sent away from the rest of the community. However, Jesus reaches out and touches the man with the skin dis-ease in today’s Gospel. By this ac on, Jesus is not rendered unclean, but instead heals the uncleanness of the leper! This would be radical to Jesus’s followers. Learn from the example of the leper that Jesus brings healing— Jesus cannot be hurt by your weak-ness.

As we begin Lent on Wednesday, please consider signing up for a weekly hour in the Adora on Chapel. Adora on@StMichaelLivermore.com or leave a note in the envelope in the chapel.

Parish Prayer Requests For our parish community as we enter the Lenten season, that we may use this me of penance to grow in discipleship. For those newly bap zed: Benjamin F., Jesus B., Carlos B., Gavin D., and Amiyah O. For newlyweds: Fernando & Gardenia Rodriguez For all those who are suffering in mind, body and spirit. Please send your prayer requests to Prayers@StMichaelLivermore.com

Prayer We learn from the First Reading today that lepers are cast out from socie-ty and are forbidden to be around healthy people. But, in today’s Gospel, a leper ventures out from the segregated leper colony and presents him-self to Jesus, with faith and expecta on in his healing power. He trusts that Jesus has the power to do anything. What amazing faith! What do you long to be healed from? What keeps you from being fully alive and able to live freely in all areas of your life? Are you willing to risk exposing your weakness to others in order that you may be healed? Do you trust Jesus’s ability to heal your ailment? Do not be afraid to ask Jesus for healing. He always wills your highest good. Resolu on Take the me to present your need for healing to Jesus this week. Do not be afraid to do what he asks. This may mean Confession, counseling, ask-ing someone’s forgiveness, and so on. Do so boldly, without fear of being exposed, for Jesus will be the one sending you forth so that you may live freely.

Thank you for your con nued gen-erosity! Your financial offerings are St Michael’s only source of income. We could not operate our mission without your support.

Sesión 1: ¿Dónde Estás? ¿Alguna vez has recibido una "llamada de atención" que te inspiró a hacer un cambio en tu vida? Tal vez fue algo importante, como una situación de salud que te forzó a tomar mejores decisiones. O tal vez fue algún comentario de un amigo que te convenció a llevar a cabo una acción diferente en cierto asunto. Cuando nos desviamos del curso de nuestra vida, Dios a menudo nos envía una llamada de atención para acercarnos a Él. Pero algunas veces es di cil, e incluso doloroso, parar, escuchar y dar la vuelta. Gracias a Dios, Él no nos pide que lo hagamos por nuestra propia cuenta. Él no sólo nos llama a regresar a casa, sino que también camina con nosotros en cada paso del camino. Viernes, 16 de febrero 7:00 pm en la sala grande
