READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First Reading
Leviticus
13:1-2.44-46
The
Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "If a swelling or scab or shiny spot appears
on a man's skin, a case of leprosy of the skin is to be suspected. The man must
be taken to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests who are his sons. The
priest must declare him unclean; he is suffering from leprosy of the head. A man
infected with leprosy must wear his clothing torn and his hair disordered; he
must shield his upper lip and cry, Unclean, unclean. As long as the disease lasts
he must be unclean; and therefore he must live apart: he must live outside the
camp.".
Second
Reading
1
Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1
Whatever
you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you do at all, do it for the glory of God.
Never do anything offensive to anyone - to Jews or Greeks or to the Church of
God; just as I try to be helpful to everyone at all times, not anxious for my
own advantage but for the advantage of everybody else, so that they may be saved.
Take me for your model, as I take Christ.
Gospel
Mark
1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and pleaded on his knees: "If you want
to" he said "you can cure me." Feeling sorry for him, Jesus stretched
out his hand and touched him. "Of course I want to!" he said. "Be
cured!" And the leprosy left him at once and he was cured. Jesus immediately
sent him away and sternly ordered him, "Mind you say nothing to anyone, but
go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your healing prescribed
by Moses as evidence of your recovery." The man went away, but then started
talking about it freely and telling the story everywhere, so that Jesus could
no longer go openly into any town, but had to stay outside in places where nobody
lived. Even so, people from all around would come to him.
