Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.

“And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, ‘Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.’ He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, ‘I will do it. Be made clean.’” (MT 8: 2-3)

This is why Our Lord came to us: to make us clean, make us strong and healthy, so we can serve others and bring fruits. We can come to Our Lord with “our infirmities and our diseases.” The only things we need to do is come, do “him homage,” and ask. Jesus will take care of us.

“Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” (Gospel Acclamation)
