My Beloved Ones,
This Sunday’s Gospel reading is a very surprising and moving account of gratitude for all of God’s wonders.
The Evangelist tells us that Jesus was visited by ten lepers when entering a village. Lepers, of course, were outcasts from their communities because of their condition—but our Lord has already made His Ministry known to those who are sick and suffering, and so these lepers cry out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” (Luke 17:13)
Our Lord, taking pity on them, tells them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests”, and, in doing so, they are made well. (Luke 17:14). However, of these ten, only 1 returns to thank Christ. Even more surprising, that man is a Samaritan.
