Bishop Manogue Catholic High School

SEPTEMBER 2026 • MARK 1:40–45

Can You, or Are You Willing?

Bishop Manogue is a little different from the other FCA Huddles we serve. They meet off campus in a home, and because we have more than an hour together, we have time for teaching and small-group discussion. This year the Huddle is working through the Gospel of Mark with Coach P (Thomas Peregrin), their adult Huddle leader.

Tonight we were in Mark 1:40–45, where a man with leprosy comes to Jesus. The question we talked about was pretty simple: Can You, or are You willing? The man believes Jesus can make him clean. His question is whether Jesus is willing. That led to a conversation about the way we approach Jesus and how easy it is to think, “If I can just get this part of my life figured out first...” then I'll come to Him.

But that's not what Jesus asks of us. He never asks you to get clean or get your life right before you come to Him. He wants you now. You don't have to fix it first. Bring it to Him now.
