Study, Pray, Serve: 6th Sunday of the Year

Let’s explore some of the themes in the Mass readings for the 6th Sunday of the Year.

1st Reading – Leviticus 13:1-2,44-46

  • Moses and Aaron are instructed by God how to assess and decide if someone has leprosy.
  • Once a person is named a leper, he must live apart from others, declaring he is “unclean!”

Psalm – 32:1-2,5,11

  • “I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.”
  • Blessed are those who acknowledge their guilt; the Lord has taken their faults away.

2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 10:30-11:1

  • Whatever we do, we do for the glory of God.
  • We avoid giving offense to anyone; rather, we imitate Christ.

Gospel – Mark 1:40-45

  • When a leper approaches Jesus and begs for healing, the Lord is moved with pity and makes him clean.
  • The man (now healed) goes away and begins telling everyone about the miracle.
