Readings for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Lev 13:1-2; 44-46;  Mark 1:40-45

Our readings tie together very easily this weekend, focusing in on the purity laws of Leviticus, specifically dealing with leprosy.  Yet in the Gospels, Jesus doesn't stay distant.  Instead, Jesus touches the leper and heals him.  But is the skin disease all that needs to be cleansed within this situation?  And if there is more, exactly what is it?  And finally - where is leprosy within our culture and location?  Answer - its' closer than you think.
