First Reading: Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46
The third book of the Bible, Leviticus,
is a collection of Jewish laws. Old Testament people believed that being clean or unclean (that is, kosher or non-kosher)
was based on what was considered to be normal or abnormal. For example, because a snake slithered on the ground rather than
walked, it was considered abnormal, and therefore, unclean. By the same standards, people with disabilities or deformities
were seen as unclean. We see a particular case addressed in this reading.
"You
are my refuge, Lord; with deliverance you surround me."
Second Reading: 1
Corinthians 10:31-11:1
Today's passage concludes a long section of First Corinthians in which
Paul has been addressing disputes between Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians about what foods are kosher. Paul now makes
a general observation that while we may in principle be free to do this or that, we should avoid those things that
disrupt harmony and peace.
