Cure the isolation


6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Mark 1:40-45

 The most typical understanding of today's reading is about how Jesus cured the leper. But the issue here is not just the leprosy.  Sometimes, it reflects how we treat the sick on the presumption that we are thankful we have no sickness such as they have.

God is a God of salvation. Unfortunately, the Old Testament reflected a law for those who have incurable diseases in those times - isolation.  It is not a sign of God's  concept of salvation; it is theirs, for the community had to survive.  There are many words for it - biases, prejudice, racism, judging, and condemning.

In the second reading, St. Paul advised Christians not to be anxious for one's own advantage but for the advantage of everybody else, "so that they may be saved."  This reflected more of the Christian spirit.

Yes, we need to take care of ourselves.  But let us not forget the needs of others - for physical healing as well as social healing.  How? 

First, have pity.  The miracle begins in the heart.  If we can't feel any mercy for our brothers and sisters, how can we help them?

Second, connect.  "I will. Be cured."  It's not just physical healing we're after.  Jesus healed the isolated soul.  How many of us have been too defensive of others who have been so aggressive against us?  Yet this is the time to reconcile, not alienate.  Find a way to connect.

Third, cure.  We may not have the physical medicine, but we have the best medicine of all - Jesus, who cured even death and sin with the power of the resurrection and grace. 

As we find the cure for COVID-19, let's not forget our Christian obligation to connect with the sick and infirm and shower them with God's love.

  1. My health was horrible before I decided to try the Protocol Of taking Dr. Omola pure herbal mixture. I felt there was no hope for my health and I was to try the Protocol, thinking it wouldn’t work because I have visited so many hospital but same result.

  2. Hey, just want to take this opportunity to tell everyone about my experience with Dr Ozala concerning my Herpes type 1 and 2 which i have been diagnosed for 8 years ago until i saw this link: https://dr-ozala-herbal-product.jimdosite.com/ and a comment of a lady called Nora who claims to be cured from Herpes by Dr Ozala.
    so i decided to take my chance with the doctor even when I had previous experience with Africans but I had no choice because I wasn't getting younger and my fiance broke up with me  in 2019 when he found out I was diagnosed with Herpes. so contacted Dr Ozala on his website and he told me that he has the cure to my health problem and he gave me his WhatsApp number: +2348156857280 and we talked and he asked me some personal questions which he later sent me the medicine and i followed his instructions for 11 days and went for a test which to my own surprise came out negative, i didn't believe my eyes, so i thanked Dr Ozala and waited for 8 months and i went to redo the test and found out that i was permanently cured from herpes type 1 and 2.
    so i advice you all to get in touch with Dr Ozala and get cured permanently..

  5. My name is Thomas White, from United states, i have been Herpes positive and it is just like been through hell; well special thanks to God almighty for using Dr Twaha, the greatest Herbal doctor in curing my herpes disease. I was diagnosed of this disease in the year 2004. Although I was taking my medications I was not myself. Until a few weeks ago. My friend came to me and told me that he saw many testimonies on how Dr. Twaha  cured people Herpes disease. Although I never believe in herbs, I said to myself "seeing is believing" I took his name and searched it on GOOGLE, I saw many testimonies myself. Quickly, I copied his email: drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com I emailed him, he gave me a form to fill which I did, then he sent me a message  and told me that he required some items in which he will use in preparing the cure for me and he told me that it will cost me some money which i sent to him because I need the cure urgent,  He bought the items and prepared a cure for me, then he sent the parcel to me through courier delivery service. I paid the courier services, I got my parcel, it was a bottle of ointment as described by Dr,Twaha After taking the ointment he told me to do, the herpes test and the result came out negative. Quickly I messaged him and told him what happened he congratulated me. I promised to tell the world about him. You can contact him with any problem  via email: ( drlregbeyen10000@gmail.com ) or contact him on WhatsApp +2349038518881 thank you Dr Twaha

  7. I'm here to testify about what DR. OSO did it for me. I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the past 5 years and had constant pain,especially inside my body. During the first year,I had faith in God that I would be healed someday. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of one lady on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OSO on how he cured her from herpes disease. And she also gave the email address of this man and advised anybody to contact him for help for any kind of sickness that he would be of help. so I emailed him telling him about my (HERPES) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! Well I never believed it, well after all the procedures and remedies given to me by this man a few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as DR. OSO assured me that I will be cured,after some time. I went to my doctor to confirm if I had finally healed Behold, it was TRUE,the test came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can contact DR. OSO for help.
