Reading from Today’s MassWe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith
to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of
the glory of God.Romans 5:1-2, 5-8
By God’s grace, Francis learned to see the face of God in the leper and to love what once he had despised. May God help us love the lepers of today.
