Introduction
We gather to meet the Risen Lord in Word and sacrament. May we be open to his healing touch, so that
made ‘just and true’ as the Opening Prayer petitions for us, we may live in him and he remain with us.
HEADING FOR READINGS
First Reading (Lev 13:1-2.44-46). The Book of Leviticus, a liturgical hand book for the Old Testament
priesthood, was concerned very much, as in this passage, with rules regarding ritual cleanliness and sacrificial
rites for its restoration.
Second Reading. (1 Cor 10:31-11.2). Against a background of controversy over the eating of meat which
had been used in pagan sacrifices, Paul goes on to encourage the community, whether eating or drinking and
in all other activities, to do all for the glory of God.
Gospel (Mk 1:40-45). In the first chapter of mark’s Gospel, we encounter already a third example of Jesus’
healing ministry, and his attempt to avoid the publicity those who have been healed would give it.
Responsorial Psalm
You are my refuge, O Lord;
you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, Alleluia!
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our mind,
so that we can see what hope his call holds for us.
Alleluia!
