Jesus shows a new way by reaching out to heal a leper, who was otherwise cast out of society as one unclean, according to stipulations laid out in the Mosaic law, which we hear in the 1st reading. Lepers also were under a cloud that somehow their conditions was a sign of punishment by God.
Jesus cleanses all of us from sin and what holds us down so that we can live life vibrantly and abundantly. And He extends to us a share in His mission, being imitators of Him as we reach out to include others, too, and allow them to experience His vibrant healing touch.
