Article:
Why did Jesus touch the leper, by Origen of Alexandria (185-254
AD): "And why did [Jesus] touch him, since the law forbade the
touching of a leper? He touched him to show that 'all things are
clean to the clean' (Titus 1:15). Because the filth that is in one
person does not adhere to others, nor does external uncleanness
defile the clean of heart. So he touches him in his untouchability,
that he might instruct us in humility; that he might teach us that
we should despise no one, or abhor them, or regard them as
pitiable, because of some wound of their body or some blemish for
which they might be called to render an account... So, stretching
forth his hand to touch, the leprosy immediately departs. The hand
of the Lord is found to have touched not a leper, but a body made
clean! Let us consider here, beloved, if there be anyone here that
has the taint of leprosy in his soul, or the contamination of guilt
in his heart? If he has, instantly adoring God, let him say: 'Lord,
if you will, you can make me clean.'" (from Fragments on Matthew
2.2-3)

11th July 2021,
as Fr. Philip was away, a previous homily for 15th Sunday OT
year B from our 2015 audio library
Readings: Amos 7:12-15 &
Ephesians 1:3-14 - Gospel: Mark 6:7-13 "Jesus summoned
the twelve and began to send them out"

From our library:
Reflection for Fifteenth Sunday in ordinary time Year B:
Jesus sent out the Twelve to preach the Good News of the Kingdom of
God and to bring healing to those who were suffering – in other
words, to enhance the lives of others. Sometimes we may find
ourselves having doubts as to whether we are on the 'right track'
in our Christian discipleship. We may occasionally ask ourselves,
“Am I, or am I not, doing God’s will, and living as he wants me
to?” It can be all too easy to confuse what we want with
what God wants - a golden opportunity for the devil to step in and
muddy the proverbial waters.
The scriptures provide
essential guidelines by which we can check whether we are truly on
the 'right track', or merely going off on our own sweet way. One
important measuring rod is that saying of Jesus, “By their
fruits you shall know them.” The most important of these fruits
is love. We read in the first letter of St John, “He who
says he is in the light and hates his brother (or sister) is in the
darkness still…” It is interesting that St John uses this
particular word, “brother”; it brings home to us very powerfully
that the Church is a family, and in that family (as in all
other families), everyone has an important part to play. If any
individual is difficult, or quarrelsome, or not regular in
attendance, the whole family is the poorer for
it.
“By their fruits you shall know
them.” St Paul very kindly lists the kind of fruits for which we
should be known: “But I say, walk by the Spirit, ....the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no
law.… And let us not grow weary in welldoing, for in due season we
shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who
are of the household of faith.” (Selections from Galatians
chapter 5).
It is clear that we should all
strive to produce good fruit in that way in our daily lives. To do
so is very much to our benefit, the benefit of those around us, and
the benefit of the family of the Church, the 'household of faith.'
This is one very effective way of evangelising – arguably the most
effective and fruitful way. ~ Fr John Gilbert

Gospel - Luke 3:10-18 John "preached good news to the people"
(3:17). John's baptism was for repentance, "He (Jesus) will baptize

|
Gaudete Sunday is from the Latin of the entrance
antiphon, Rejoice in the Lord always,
again I say rejoice. Indeed the Lord is near.
The readings remind us of God's faithfulness in
fulfilling his promises & emphasize that the coming of Jesus is
Good News to hope and believe in. God is really the source of joy
and we can pass that joy to others. St Paul encourages the people
of Philippi to look past their conflicts and troubles and rejoice
because the Lord is near.
