Mt 8:1-4

The healing of the man with leprosy in Matthew’s Gospel does not have a lot of detail. Though straight forward, the point is well made. The man approaches Jesus and addresses him in a way that reveals the depth of his understanding. Jesus offers a healing touch and then in accordance with the Mosaic law sends the man to the priest.

Faith, trust, and humility are all evidence of goodness for which we hope and pray. With them we find healing and wholeness.
