I beg of you, make me clean.

It happened that there was a man full of
leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was;
and when he saw Jesus,
he bowed, begged him, and said,
“Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.”

Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said,
“I do choose. Be made clean.”
Immediately the leprosy left him.
Then he ordered him to tell no one, but
“Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing
what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.”

The report about him spread all the more,
and great crowds assembled to listen to him
and to be cured of their diseases,
but he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.

- Lk 5:12-16


How am I like the leper reaching out to Jesus to be made whole? Full of the love of God.
Can I sense Jesus reaching out to touch me, to make me clean?
Will I be open to Jesus making me clean with his boundless generosity?
