Pray this Lazaroo with yearning:

“But go, show yourself…”
(Mark 1:44)

You were telling this man whose leprosy You had just healed, Jesus

to go show himself to the priest
so he’d be allowed back in normal society.

But that’s what every one of us You’ve touched should do.

We should go show ourselves
to anyone who’ll look.

They need to see what You can do for them

if they will open themselves to You.

Like Moses after being with You

make me radiant!

 Pray this Lazaroo, trembling with emotion: 

“Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.”
(Mark 1:41)

Oh, Jesus.

Your touch…

a handshake
Your arm draped around my shoulder

a fist bump
a high-five!

a bear hug that lifts me off my feet
…even to brush against You in passing.

What I wouldn’t give!

Will I have to wait till heaven?

Probably.

But until then…

You’ve touched me in so many other ways
that I know Your first physical touch

will be worth the wait.
