Friends, our Gospel for today has to do with *Jesus’ healing a leper*.
There aren’t that many lepers around today, but there are plenty of people
that we treat as outsiders or pariahs. Like Jesus, we should be welcoming
to them. Now, I have nothing particularly against that way of reading the
situation, but I suspect that we’ve all heard it a thousand times.

Let me propose *a symbolic reading *a little different from the customary
one. I propose that *the leper here stands *not so much for the socially
ostracized but *for the one who has wandered away from right worship*, *the
one who is no longer able or willing* *to worship the true God*. *That’s
why Jesus tells the man to “go, show yourself to the priest.” In other
words, go back to the temple from which* *you’ve been away for so long.*

*What is so important about worship? To worship is to order the whole of
one’s life toward the living God, and, in doing so, to become interiorly
and exteriorly rightly ordered*. *To worship is to signal to oneself what
one’s life is finally about.* It’s nothing that God needs, but it is very
much something that we need.
*Lábunk együtt járjon, kezünk együtt gyűjtsön, *
*szívünk együtt dobbanjon, bensőnk együtt érezzen, *
*elménk gondolata egy legyen, *
*fülünk együtt figyeljen a csöndességre, *
*szemünk egymásba nézzen és tekintetünk összeforrjon, *

*ajkunk együtt könyörögjön az Örök Atyához irgalomért! *
*Amen*
