February 11, 2024 – VI Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Gospel according to Mark (Mk 1,40-45)

At that time, a leper came to Jesus, who begged him on his knees and said: “If you want, you can purify me!”. He had compassion, stretched out his hand, touched him and said: “I want it, be purified!”. And immediately the leprosy disappeared from him and he was purified.
And he, admonishing him severely, immediately chased him away and said to him: «Be careful not to say anything to anyone; go, instead, show yourself to the priest and offer for your purification what Moses prescribed, as a testimony for them.”
But he went away and began to proclaim and spread the fact, so much so that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but he remained outside, in deserted places; and they came to him from everywhere.
