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.” His leprosy was cleansed immediately.” (MT 8: 2-3) 

We can imagine ourselves asking for the same of Our Lord: “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Especially when we are tired and working so hard on our repeated sins, endless weakness and lack of progress. Our Lord’s answer is always the same: “I will do it. Be made clean.” He wants for us all the best because He “took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” 

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