  2. Once again, thanks for the reflections. You mention that Jesus had to break cultural and social boundaries in order to heal the leper who had broken the law of Moses by approaching him. Only today it occurred to me that Jesus upheld the law of Moses when he ordered the man to make the offering as prescribed. So the reading highlights that Jesus had respect for the Old Testament laws that did not hurt anyone but showed that laws which compromised the values of love, compassion and inclusiveness were to be abolished! While he was sensitive to people’s regard for the law, he was single-minded about promoting healing and forgiveness.
