JESUS’ WAY

Today’s readings present a contrast between “Jesus’

way” and the “old way.” An example of the old way is

the law given to Moses and Aaron about leprosy: the

leper was unclean and cast out of the community.

Jesus’ way is the opposite: the leper is reached out to,

touched, and finally cured. Nor ought we think of the

“old way” as restricted to the days of Moses and Aaron,

or even to the “old” testament. The difference between

the old way and Jesus’ way arises in own lives. We still

choose, every day, to live in our old way or in Jesus’

way. Jesus dared to touch a leper, disregarding the old

way. The leper then was changed forever. He felt a

calling. He couldn’t keep himself from proclaiming that

he had been touched by Jesus (even though Jesus told

him not to!). Once Jesus touches us,

we are called to proclaim his way.
