Why did Jesus heal by touching the man with leprosy (a contageous disease)?

For a start one cannot help but notice that it is the man who touches Jesus and that Jesus lets himslef be touched by him so showing deep charity in not keeping away an outcast. Today we have special throwaway gloves, still many keep at a distance also people affectet by non contagious illnesses - first of all cancer. So healing really comes from the man Faith in Jesus as ever. He comes out of himself and dares touching the Master not feeling unworthy of him. a moment later, healing done, Jesus almost comes across as harsh - he does not touch the man. The Gospel does not record that as in other cases, i think. Jesus does not chicken out of contact, but he does maintain a distance, showing thus aversion to the unclensiness he really wants us to be healed from: the one of the soul. He firmly tells the am to be cleansed the traditional way, as commanded by the old law. To taech us that that is the real contagious 'leprosy' we should be concerned about: any attitude of the heart that we risk pasing on to othesr by setiing the bad example.

Give examples of "Fruit worthy of repentance?" (John´s examples or your own)

A freshness of the heart that Herod shuns out locking John in prison and refusing to harvest that renewal that accepting the baptism in Holy Spirit brings. Yet he feels the call, but does not take heed.
