1 February 11, 2018 The Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois Jesus Healing the Leper (1864) by Jean-Marie Melchior Doze Yet, what about us? Do we live like lepers? Recall that lepers lived apart from God and others.

2 Fr. Bob s Briefs This week, we hear of another healing story from the Gospel of Mark. Following the healing of Simon s mother-in-law and many sick people in last week s Gospel, today, we hear how Jesus heals a man with leprosy. The image that we see below is a wonderful painting by the French painter Jean- Marie Melchior Doze entitled Jesus Healing the Leper (1864), which beautifully illustrates today s gospel story. We hear in the Gospel how the man with leprosy came to Jesus, knelt before Jesus, and begged Jesus to make him clean. This sounds like something that is no big deal, but it was a big deal, and very atypical and rare. The word for leprosy in Greek is lepras, and it means scale or scaly. It actually can refer to a number of skin ailments, including actual leprosy, with is a bacterial infection that causes the skin to ulcerate, resulting in oozing sores, disfigurement, loss of limbs, and occasional blindness. In ancient times, leprosy was incurable. Historians believe that leprosy is a very, very old disease. Interestingly, most medical historians say that it probably started in ancient Egypt. Doctors and scientists have done tests on the bodies of ancient Egyptian mummies, which have been so well preserved, that they can extract out of them fragments of ancient bacteria. Scientists have found that the bacteria on Egyptian mummies are the same bacteria identified today as Hansen's disease (leprosy). Leprosy was a very common problem in Israel. In biblical times it was so severe that it threatened society. Chapter 13 and 14 of the Book of Leviticus deals solely with leprosy. A leper shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp (Lev 13:46). Likewise, we read in Deuteronomy 5:2, "If you find anybody with leprosy, put him out of the camp." The rabbis say that God put this in His Law as a way to preserve His people. Moreover, according to rabbis, lepers could not come closer than six feet upwind and 150 feet downwind to other people. Thus, lepers had to be separated from everyone else. They had no connection with anybody in society who wasn't a leper. It was a kind of living death. Lepers were actually forbidden to come near anyone without the disease because of its contagion and its tragic effects. This man could be stoned for violating the quarantines that surrounded leprosy, which were based on the Mosaic Law. Lepers could not come towards other people. Yet, Mark tells us that he came to Jesus. He wasn't just wandering. He came on purpose. The leper knew exactly what he was doing. This leper comes close to Jesus. As we read in the Gospel, Jesus is filled with pity for him. Jesus touches the man with leprosy and heals him! The touch of Jesus breaks this man s isolation. It is the beginning of his reconnection with God and society. Yet, what about us? Do we live like lepers? Recall that lepers lived apart from God and others. What happens to us when we don t come to church and come to Mass on Sunday? Aren t we living our lives apart from God and the community? Most Catholics today live their lives separated from God and the community and that s fine for most people. Yet, this leper desired to be with God and the community. The leper desired desperately to belong once again, and he took a big risk to come to Jesus! What about us? A 2016 study found 63% of youth stopped being Catholic between the ages of 10 and 17. Another 23% said they left the faith by age % of Catholics don t worship on Sunday. Sadly, most Catholics today live a life of spiritual leprosy. As we begin the season of Lent this week, let us come closer to Jesus, like the leper in today s Gospel. Let us ask Jesus to touch us with His healing grace and make us clean of the leprosy of sin in our lives. Moreover, let us invite our family, children, grandchildren, and friends who are apart from Jesus to come back to Christ in the season of Lent. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care and may St. Joseph pray for us! Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

3 Informes del Padre Bob Esta semana, escuchamos de otra historia de sanación del Evangelio de Marcos. Después de la curación de la suegra de Simon y muchas personas enfermas en el Evangelio de la semana pasada, hoy escuchamos cómo Jesús sana a un hombre con lepra. La imagen que vemos a continuación es una pintura maravillosa del pintor francés Jean-Marie Melchior Doze titulada Jesús Sana Al Leproso (1864), que ilustra bellamente la historia del evangelio de hoy. Escuchamos en el Evangelio cómo el hombre con lepra se acerca a Jesús, se arrodilla ante Jesús y le suplica a Jesús que lo limpie. Esto suena como algo que no es gran cosa, pero fue un gran problema, y muy atípico y raro. La palabra lepra en griego es lepras, y significa "escama" o "escamosa". En realidad, se puede referir a una serie de dolencias de la piel, incluida la lepra real, con una infección bacterial que causa la ulceración de la piel, dando como resultado exudado llagas, desfiguración, pérdida de extremidades y ceguera ocasional. En la antigüedad, la lepra era incurable. Los historiadores creen que la lepra es una enfermedad muy, muy antigua. Curiosamente, la mayoría de los historiadores médicos dicen que probablemente comenzó en el antiguo Egipto. Los médicos y científicos han realizado pruebas en los cuerpos de las antiguas momias egipcias, que han sido tan bien conservadas, que pueden extraer fragmentos de antiguas bacterias. Los científicos han descubierto que las bacterias en las momias egipcias son las mismas bacterias identificadas hoy como la enfermedad de Hansen (lepra). La lepra era un problema muy común en Israel. En tiempos bíblicos era tan severo que amenazaba a la sociedad. Los capítulos 13 y 14 del Libro de Levítico tratan exclusivamente de la lepra. "El leproso permanecerá aparte, y hará su morada fuera del campamento" (Lev 13:46). Del mismo modo, leemos en Deuteronomio 5: 2: "Si encuentras a alguien con lepra, sácalo del campamento". Los rabinos dicen que Dios puso esto en su ley como una forma de preservar a su pueblo. Además, de acuerdo con los rabinos, los leprosos no podían acercarse a más de un metro de ceñida y 150 pies a sotavento de otras personas. Por lo tanto, los leprosos tenían que estar separados de todos los demás. No tenían conexión con nadie en la sociedad que no fuera leproso. Fue una especie de muerte en vida. En realidad, a los leprosos se les prohibía acercarse a cualquier persona sin la enfermedad debido a su contagio y sus trágicos efectos. Este hombre podría ser apedreado por violar las cuarentenas que rodeaban a la lepra, que se basaban en la Ley mosaica. Los leprosos no podían acercarse a otras personas. Sin embargo, Marcos nos dice que vino a Jesús. Él no estaba solo vagando. Él vino a propósito. El leproso sabía exactamente lo que estaba haciendo. Este leproso se acerca a Jesús. Cuando leemos en el Evangelio, Jesús se llena de compasión por él. Jesús toca al hombre con lepra y lo cura! El toque de Jesús rompe el aislamiento de este hombre. Es el comienzo de su reconexión con Dios y la sociedad. Sin embargo, y nosotros? Vivimos como leprosos? Recuerde que los leprosos vivían separados de Dios y otros. Qué pasa con nosotros cuando no venimos a la iglesia y venimos a misa el domingo? No estamos viviendo nuestras vidas separados de Dios y la comunidad? La mayoría de los católicos de hoy viven separados de Dios y de la comunidad, y eso está bien para la mayoría de las personas. Sin embargo, este leproso deseaba estar con Dios y la comunidad. El leproso deseaba desesperadamente pertenecer una vez más, y corrió un gran riesgo de venir a Jesús! Qué pasa con nosotros? Un estudio de 2016 encontró que el 63% de los jóvenes dejó de ser católico entre las edades de 10 y 17. Otro 23% dijo que abandonaron la fe a los 10 años. El 80% de los católicos no adoran los domingos. Tristemente, la mayoría de los católicos de hoy viven una vida de lepra espiritual. Al comenzar la temporada de Cuaresma esta semana, acerquémonos a Jesús, como el leproso en el Evangelio de hoy. Pidamos a Jesús que nos toque con su gracia sanadora y nos haga limpios de la lepra del pecado en nuestras vidas. Además, invitemos a nuestra familia, hijos, nietos y amigos que están separados de Jesús a regresar a Cristo en el tiempo de la Cuaresma. Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre del Buen Consejo, nos ayude con su cuidado maternal y que San José ruega por nosotros. Vivat Jesús! Vive Jesús!

4 Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Dzisiejsze czytanie z Ewangelii według św. Marka jest kolejną piękną opowieścią o uzdrowieniu. W zeszłym tygodniu, Pan uzdrowił teściową Szymona Piotra i wielu innych ludzi, którzy przyszli do Niego. Dzisiaj Jezus uzdrawia trędowatego. Poniżej widzicie piękną ilustrację dzisiejszego czytania obraz pędzla francuskiego artysty, Jeana-Marie Melchiora Doze'a, pod tytułem: Jezus uzdrawia trędowatego (1864 rok). Do Chrystusa przychodzi trędowaty, klęka przed Nim i prosi o wyleczenie. Wydaje się to czymś zupełnie zwyczajnym, ale w rzeczywistości była to sytuacja niezwykła i bardzo rzadka. Trąd w języku greckim to lepras, co znaczy dosłownie: łuska, lub łuskowaty. Określenie to może dotyczyć całego szeregu chorób skóry, włącznie z faktycznym trądem: infekcją bakteryjną objawiającą się ropiejącymi wrzodami na skórze, szpetotą, utratą kończyn, a niekiedy także ślepotą. Zdaniem historyków, trąd jest bardzo, bardzo starą chorobą; w starożytności był nieuleczalny. Co ciekawe, pierwsze przypadki tej choroby odnotowano w starożytnym Egipcie. Przeprowadzono badania na egipskich mumiach. Są one tak dobrze zakonserwowane, iż można z nich pobrać nawet fragmenty starożytnych bakterii. Naukowcom udało się ustalić, iż tamte bakterie są identyczne z tymi, jakie współcześnie wywołują chorobę Hansena (HD), czyli trąd. Trąd był w Izraelu dosyć powszechny. W czasach biblijnych trąd zagrażał całemu społeczeństwu. 13 i 14 rozdział Księgi Kapłańskiej jest w całości poświęcony tej chorobie: Trędowaty, który podlega tej chorobie, będzie miał rozerwane szaty, włosy w nieładzie, brodę zasłoniętą i będzie wołać: Nieczysty, nieczysty! Przez cały czas trwania tej choroby będzie nieczysty. Będzie mieszkał w odosobnieniu. Jego mieszkanie będzie poza obozem (Księga Kapłańska 13:45-46). Rabini twierdzą, iż Bóg umieścił tę zasadę w Swoim Prawie po to, aby chronić Lud Wybrany. Ponadto, trędowaty nie mógł podejść do innego człowieka bliżej niż na odległość 2 metrów. Trędowaci zmuszeni byli do życia z dala od reszty społeczeństwa. Trędowaci mieli kontakt jedynie z innymi osobami cierpiącymi na trąd. To tak, jakby umarli już za życia. Trędowaci mieli zakaz zbliżania się do osób zdrowych, ponieważ trąd był wysoce zaraźliwy, a jego następstwa były tragiczne. Jeśli trędowaty nie stosował się do nakazów i zakazów określonych dla swej choroby w Prawie Mojżeszowym, mógł zostać skazany na śmierć przez ukamienowanie. Trędowaci mieli zakaz zbliżania się do innych ludzi. A jednak ten człowiek podszedł do Jezusa. On nie szedł ot, tak sobie podszedł do Niego świadomie i celowo. Jak pisze święty Marek Ewangelista, na widok trędowatego, Jezusa zdjęła litość. Pan dotyka trędowatego i uzdrawia go! Dotyk Jezusa przełamuje izolację mężczyzny. To zaś oznacza jego powrót do Boga i społeczeństwa. Ale co z nami? Czy i my żyjemy jak trędowaci? Trędowaci żyli z dala od Boga i ludzi. Co się z nami dzieje, kiedy przez dłuższy czas nie chodzimy do kościoła, ani nie bierzemy udziału w liturgii niedzielnej? Czy my przypadkiem nie żyjemy z dala od Boga i społeczeństwa? Duża część współczesnych katolików nie ma wiele do czynienia z Bogiem na co dzień i to większości nie przeszkadza. Ale trędowaty z dzisiejszego czytania pragnął być blisko Boga i ludzi. Chory bardzo ryzykował, przychodząc do Jezusa, ale powodowało nim przemożne pragnienie powrotu do świata! A jak jest z nami? Wyniki sondażu przeprowadzonego w 2016 roku pokazują, iż 63% młodych przestało się utożsamiać z wiarą katolicką pomiędzy 10., a 17. rokiem życia. Kolejne 23% do 10. roku życia całkowicie porzuciło wiarę. 80% katolików nie uczęszcza na niedzielne nabożeństwa. Większość osób współcześnie cierpi na duchowy trąd. Rozpoczynając w tym tygodniu Wielki Post, bierzmy przykład z trędowatego i postarajmy się zbliżyć do Jezusa. Poprośmy Go, aby obdarzył nas Swoją uzdrawiającą łaską i usunął z naszego życia trąd grzechu. W tym szczególnym czasie zachęćmy do powrotu do Chrystusa również tych, którzy żyją daleko od Niego naszych bliskich, nasze dzieci, wnuki oraz przyjaciół. Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swojej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
