The readings for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year B (see below) demonstrate the healing power of Jesus and his ability to rid us of what is unclean in our lives. The first reading tells what should be done if someone has leprosy, and how being unclean separates us from others. The Gospel recalls how Jesus healed a leper.
So we can focus this weekend on issues such as chastity and Theology of the Body. Unclean language is also a good topic.
