1 Samuel 4:1-11; Psalm 44; Mark 1:40-45
Have you had a good day?
Sometimes we don’t have such a good day. The Israelites in our first reading had a couple of bad days. In our gospel today the leper has a happy day, with Jesus feeling sorry for him and saying “Be cured!” Perhaps I’m a little disrespectful, but I do find it amusing that our ex-leper couldn’t keep his mouth shut about his healing. I don’t think Jesus would have been surprised. We have our good days and our bad days. Perhaps the best person to speak to about our day is Jesus, who is with us in good and bad times.
