Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, “In today’s society, leprosy is almost extinct – but in its place there is Secularism and Consumerism. In the Western society, most people can avoid extreme poverty, however, most people also do not have God in their hearts.” Even though we are not evil, sometimes we still find darkness in our hearts. It is exactly as Paul said, “I have not done what I should do; yet what I should not do, I have done.” The journey to righteousness begins with an intention to do good, but we also require the special blessings of God. Have we the faith to say to the Lord, “Just say the word, and I shall be healed?” “You shall be healed!” May Jesus’ response to the Leper ring true in the depths of our being.
