Medical science has done us a great favor by continuous research on deadly diseases affecting the world. Infectious diseases such as the bubonic plague killed a large population of the world in the 14th century. The HIV/AIDS virus equally decimated great populations from the late 20th century until this moment. Recent cases of the Flu or the Ebola attacks have kept researchers awake seeking ways on how to contain their spread.

Leprosy (medically known as Hansen’s Disease) is another infec-tious disease that is highly contagious. According to research notes on infectious diseases, leprosy can be treated effectively without spreading among the population. However, the lack of treatment of the symptoms of leprosy can cause crippling of the hands, feet, paralysis and blind-ness. In ancient times, due to lack of treatment of the disease, victims were isolated and abandoned with less contact or less medical assis-tance. Today in the United States, the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC) is equipped to assist in overcoming infectious diseases within the US and around the world.

Knowing that he was left to his fate, a leprous victim decided to approach Jesus for help. He said to Jesus, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” These words were more than a cry for help. He was suffering bodily pains and physical isolation from the communi-ty. According to historical facts, lepers wore little bells on their frail bodies that rattled as they move to alert healthy people of their presence. This law was segrega-tionally painful to imagine that a victim of leprosy would not move freely or be ritually clean. Out of pity, Jesus said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” The reading tells us that immediately after he met Jesus, the leprosy left him. He was free to reintegrate into the society after the certification of a priest.

The healing of the leper was also a great favor. Without the healing by Jesus, the leper would have been condemned to a life of misery and pain as required by Moses and Aaron, “If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest or to one of the priests among his descendants. If the man is leprous and unclean, the priest shall declare him unclean by reason of the sore on his head.” Jesus knew the law, yet he freely healed him and gave him a new opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a healthy life. There is an indication that this man went to town to inform others of what Jesus did to him because “people kept coming to Jesus from everywhere.”

Of all the doctors I have known, their schedule is always a busy one advising people, battling their fears and prescribing medicines. For example, the sight of skin blisters on a beauty Queen at night can keep her thinking about death before morning. Or profuse sweats on Mr. Handsome can mean many things to different men. But the assurance of doctors relaxes our fears offering a medical explanation with medicines

towards healing. The lepers of the time of Jesus may not have had the opportunity we have now. Neither did the victims of those ancient plagues have any opportunity to know what was really killing them. The lack of medical answers is far worse that the any disease itself because psychological defeat is dangerous.

The knowledge of bacteria and viruses opens us to a new under-standing about how we can manage ourselves. The absence of this knowledge can lead us to shift blame on wrong targets. In cultures of the world, most innocent people have died pointlessly due to the transfer of aggression when an ailment descends on a community. For example, the witches of Europe were blamed and hung for many unexplainable diseases. In Africa, the lack of a community doctor can mean the witch-es are to blame for an ailment as common as an upset stomach. Yes, there must be someone to pay for our ignorance and we must find a

target. St. Paul warns us against this ignoble attitude. He says, “Avoid giving offense, whether to the Jews or Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own benefits but that of the many, that they may be saved. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” Unfortunately, the words of St. Paul are often not followed even in our Christian denominations. The blame game mentality is rife among Christian churches today. They focus on which church is the anti-Christ or the great whore of Babylon, who is wearing purple clothes with 666 on the forehead, while neglecting adherence to biblical teaching or dogmas. The kind of ignorance affecting new churches is akin to the leprosy of the time of Jesus that further isolates believers away into the darkness of errors. Only Jesus himself can cure those affected when he said, I will do it. Be made clean. The inability to recognize leprosy in one’s self is a myopia

that needs spiritual healing. Denominational tags have become like sores or scabs on our skins

identifiable by other bias Christians who feel we are less worthy to call on Jesus as our savior. This is un-Christian. The mission of Jesus ab initio is unifying those who call upon his name and seeking out the lost and the ignorant that they may know the right path to God. The mes-sage, therefore, relates to classifying denominational loyalty as modern leprosy needing the healing of Jesus. Churches in modern times need to unify around Jesus and his teaching and no one else. Classifying other churches as unholy, whore of Babylon, anti-Christ or 666 gives Christi-anity a wrong identity. The conclusion is that Jesus’ vision is for all men and women to be saved as the generosity of God. The blame game should stop and the work of salvation should be expedited to reach the lepers that ignorance and pride is holding ransom in this day of the rise of evil.

Keep praying!

In consideration of the current flu contagion, the Eucharist will be offered under one species until further notice. This is in keeping with Diocesan Policy options for “level 1” precautions.

B B P F . 11

Please bring your old blessed palms from last year’s Palm Sunday to the church or office anytime before noon on February 11.

LENTEN GUIDELINES: Ash Wednesday February 14, and Good Friday March 30, are days of both fasting and abstinence. A day of Fasting means:

a limit of one full meal with two smaller meals, not exceeding the main meal, for those ages 18-59 inclusive. A day of Absti-nence means: all who have reached their 14th year are bound to abstain totally from meat on that day.

ASH WEDNESDAY: February 14, 2018 Ash Wednesday begins our season of Lent. Ashes will be distributed during all the Masses in our Church.

MASSES: 7:00 am / 8:30 am / 12 noon 5:00 pm / 6:30 pm / 8:00 pm

Ash Wednesday is NOT a holy day of obligation, it is a day of both fasting and abstinence.

We fast and abstain that we can realize what we need to let go of to become like Christ.

CHURCH ENVIRONMENT

There should be NO FLOWERS OR PLANTS in the Church during Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14th So we ask that you please refrain from bringing bouquets in to the Blessed Virgin Mary statues in both the church and chapel during these times. During Lent Masses will be held in Church.

CHARITY & DEVELOPMENT APPEAL 2018 This weekend the annual Charity and Development Appeal be-gins. The CDA gives you the opportunity to nurture the faith of those in our Diocese. It is love and faith in action, supporting more than 70 ministries and organizations. The impact of your gift helps bring the heart and hands of Jesus to children, young adults, families and neighbors here in Arizona. The CDA serves the basic needs of our large and fast-growing community beyond

what any one parish or community can do alone. Together we can achieve more. With your gift to the CDA, you heed the call to be an instrument of God’s mercy. Please make a gift to the CDA… and give hope to so many, tomorrow. For more information or to donate online, visit dphx.org/cda. Thank you for your support. A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said,

"If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him,

"I do will it. Be made clean." The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Mark 1: 40-42

Today’s Gospel reminds us of the awesome healing power of Jesus. Wouldn’t it be great to have that same healing power? We may not be able to physically touch someone as Jesus did and witness instant healing; but we do have the power to help change lives. Every gift you make to the Charity & Development Appeal helps to bring transformational change to others. Your CDA gift helps children find stable, loving foster and adoptive families through Catholic Charities. Senior citizens receive assistance and care through Foundation for Senior Living. Catechists teaching religious education receive training and resources through Diocesan programs. Deacons and seminarians receive financial support and formation to serve parishes in our Diocese. You can be the heart and hands of Jesus with your gift to the CDA. You are encouraged to support this annual appeal. To learn more, go to dphx.org/cda. Take a pledge card and envelope, and make your gift to the CDA today. Bless you – your gift gives hope to others.
