February 11
The real tragedy is that the whole thing began with a false premise. Namely, that leprosy is a manifestation of divine punishment for an offense against God. Thus, the logic flowed, the sinner should be excluded from worship. Leprosy’s contagiousness only increased the distancing and boundaries, forcing lepers into isolation, forcing them to wear a bell around their neck when they came close to non-infected others. But can we catch divine punishment for a loving gesture? The fallacious premise justified and compounded everyone’s suffering. -

Determining our purpose in life answers one of the key questions we pose to ourselves. It’s not something we ask every day; it may be something we avoid or struggle with. It most often nags us when we are least sure of the answer. Yet today’s readings offer three individuals who dealt with this existential challenge with great awareness and determination. Each can illuminate our quest to recognize and live our purpose fully. -

In today’s Gospel Jesus amazes and astonishes His listeners in the synagogue with the depth and power of His words. He is immediately perceived to be speaking with an “authority” different than they’ve encountered before in their history of prophets and teachers. This authority seems different, certainly more powerful and independent, than Moses and all the other prophets God had raised up to mediate His words to the people. All who heard Jesus that day were challenged to discern, as God had said they must, if Jesus truly spoke in God’s name. Yet, only the totally impure, unclean spirit immediately recognized Jesus as the Holy One of God and he groaned and convulsed in the face of Jesus’ power.

Lectionary-based Scripture Reflection
The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the body of the Lord; both nourish and govern the whole Christian life.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church: 141)
There is a holy, organic relationship between the liturgical cycle and our spiritual sustenance and growth. St. Angela’s offers two lectionary-based scripture reflection groups that afford the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the gift of that relationship, not only through the specific “lesson” of the week, but also through our gathering and mutual sharing.
