6th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year B (2021)

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

Sunday, February 14, 2021

The readings for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year B demonstrate the healing power of Jesus and his ability to rid us of what is unclean in our lives. The first reading (Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46) tells what should be done if someone has leprosy. But the psalm (Psalm 32:1-2, 5, 11) is an expression of trust in God to remove our guilt. The second reading (1 Corinthians 10:31—11:1) reminds us to do all things for the glory of God. The Gospel (Mark 1:40-45) recalls how Jesus healed a leper.

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.”

Mark 1:40-41

So we can focus this weekend on issues such as chastity and Theology of the Body. Unclean language is also a good topic. Here are some ideas.

Youth Prayer to St. George for Courage
Pray this intercessory prayer to St. George when you need the strength and courage to resist evil and stand up for what is right. This prayer is written with youth in mind and the types of experiences they have in their daily lives.
Pictionary (Youth Ministry Game)
Pictionary is warm up game to play with your youth group. You can use words with are related to the theme of the meeting. Teens love this game!
Youth Prayer to St. Isadore for Those Using the Internet
Yes, internet users have a patron saint! It is St. Isadore of Seville, a seventh century bishop. He wrote a huge encyclopedia called Etymologies which at the time was thought to be a recording of everything known. The wikipedia of its day. 🙂
No No Game
This is a game for youth group or youth ministry where players try to get each other to say no. It could be used at a meeting about saying "yes" instead of "no". It also works in well with the Annunciation and Mary's fiat when she said "yes" instead of "no".
Act today in a way that you need not blush tomorrow.
This quote from St. John Bosco reminds us to think before we act
How Can I Get Clean? Discussion and Reflection Questions
This reflection will help youth understand that only Jesus can make us clean. And he wants to do it. All we need to do is ask.
If You Wish, You Can Make Me Clean
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.”
