LECTURE DU JOUR
Première lecture
Lecture du livre des Lévites
(Lv 13, 1-2.45-46)
Le Seigneur parla à Moïse et à son frère Aaron,
et leur dit :
« Quand un homme aura sur la peau
une tumeur, une inflammation ou une pustule,
qui soit une tache de lèpre,
on l’amènera au prêtre Aaron
ou à l’un des prêtres ses fils.
Le lépreux atteint d’une tache
portera des vêtements déchirés et les cheveux en désordre,
il se couvrira le haut du visage jusqu’aux lèvres,
et il criera : “Impur ! Impur !”
Tant qu’il gardera cette tache, il sera vraiment impur.
C’est pourquoi il habitera à l’écart,
son habitation sera hors du camp. »
Deuxième lecture
Lecture de la première lettre de saint Paul apôtre aux Corinthiens
(1 Co 10, 31 – 11, 1)
Frères,
tout ce que vous faites :
manger, boire, ou toute autre action,
faites-le pour la gloire de Dieu.
Ne soyez un obstacle pour personne,
ni pour les Juifs, ni pour les païens,
ni pour l’Église de Dieu.
Ainsi, moi-même, en toute circonstance,
je tâche de m’adapter à tout le monde,
sans chercher mon intérêt personnel,
mais celui de la multitude des hommes,
pour qu’ils soient sauvés.
Imitez-moi,
comme moi aussi j’imite le Christ.
ÉVANGILE DU JOUR
Évangile de Jésus Christ selon saint Marc
(Mc 1, 40-45)
En ce temps-là,
un lépreux vint auprès de Jésus ;
il le supplia et, tombant à ses genoux, lui dit :
« Si tu le veux, tu peux me purifier. »
Saisi de compassion, Jésus étendit la main,
le toucha et lui dit :
« Je le veux, sois purifié. »
À l’instant même, la lèpre le quitta
et il fut purifié.
Avec fermeté, Jésus le renvoya aussitôt
en lui disant :
« Attention, ne dis rien à personne,
mais va te montrer au prêtre,
et donne pour ta purification
ce que Moïse a prescrit dans la Loi :
cela sera pour les gens un témoignage. »
Une fois parti,
cet homme se mit à proclamer et à répandre la nouvelle,
de sorte que Jésus ne pouvait plus entrer ouvertement dans une ville,
mais restait à l’écart, dans des endroits déserts.
De partout cependant on venait à lui.

WORD GLOBAL OF THE DAY

READING OF THE DAY
First reading from the Book of Leviticus
Lv 13:1-2, 44-46
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
“If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch
which appears to be the sore of leprosy,
he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest,
or to one of the priests among his descendants.
If the man is leprous and unclean,
the priest shall declare him unclean
by reason of the sore on his head.
“The one who bears the sore of leprosy
shall keep his garments rent and his head bare,
and shall muffle his beard;
he shall cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
As long as the sore is on him he shall declare himself unclean,
since he is in fact unclean.
He shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp.”
Second reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
1 Cor 10:31—11:1
Brothers and sisters,
Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do everything for the glory of God.
Avoid giving offense, whether to the Jews or Greeks or
the church of God,
just as I try to please everyone in every way,
not seeking my own benefit but that of the many,
that they may be saved.
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Mark
Mk 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said,
“If you wish, you can make me clean.”
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand,
touched him, and said to him,
“I do will it. Be made clean.”
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning the him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
He said to him, “See that you tell no one anything,
but go, show yourself to the priest
and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;
that will be proof for them.”
The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.
He spread the report abroad
so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly.
He remained outside in deserted places,
and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
