Mark 1:40-45

I donâ€™t know how many of you glance at the little biographies of the weekâ€™s saints that we run in the bulletins each Sunday. Someone said to me that the saints didnâ€™t â€œdo anythingâ€ for him. I guess they â€œdoâ€ a lot for me. They remind me of the struggles that others have faced to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ, of the fact that you and I stand on the shoulders of generations of giants who have gone before us. As the Letter to the Hebrews says, â€œwe are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [that we can] run with endurance the race set before us.â€
