Father Seraphim shares the importance of the Jubilee Year of 1933 in the life of St. Faustina in part two of this series.

Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, talks with Dr. Bryan Thatcher about the gift the Lord gives us through St. Faustina.

The Gospel presents a man described as “full of leprosy.” Not partially wounded. Not mildly afflicted. Completely sick. And yet this is the man who is healed — because he approaches Jesus correctly. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, explains that Scripture reveals three responses to spiritual leprosy. The first is pride: refusing to see one’s own sin while accusing everyone else. This leprosy cannot be healed because it denies the wound. The second is despair: seeing the sin clearly but believing mercy is impossible. This leprosy turns inward and never reaches the Physician.
