Evening: Psalm 105:23-45; Luke 5:12-26
Before modern medicine, fear of contagious diseases like leprosy provoked many safeguards to protect populations from infection ... Lepers were permanently isolated from their families and communities. Think for a minute about the healing power for you of someone’s caring touch. It must have been incredibly healing for the leper when Jesus simply reached out and touched him. Where did Jesus find the courage to do that? Luke says Jesus “used to slip away to remote places and pray”. It was in prayer that Jesus nourished his spirit and his extraordinary and ‘infectious’ Love and healing power.
