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.

Let’s take a look at some of the themes that surface in the Mass readings for the 5th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Job 7:1-4,6-7
Job laments that much of human life is drudgery, misery, and restlessness.
He doubts that he will ever see happiness again.
Psalm – 147:1-6
“Praise the Lord, who heals the brokenhearted.”
God’s goodness brings healing, wisdom, and sustenance to those in pain.
2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 9:16-19,22-23
Paul has an obligation to preach, and his recompense is to do so free of charge.
He has become weak to win over the weak, striving to save souls for the sake of the gospel.
Gospel – Mark 1:29-39
In Capernaum, Jesus heals Simon’s mother-in-law, and when many people from around the town arrive after sunset, he heals them and drives out demons.
The Lord then invites the disciples the next day to go to the nearby villages to continue this ministry.
