Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17,11-19
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him
and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
Give thanks
1) Jesus passed by: I want to keep this image, of a walking Jesus. Today, we have to be that Jesus who goes out, who seeks, who travels. We should not wait around for the needy to come to us. Go out and look for the needy, if you don’t go out you will never see their need. Jesus’ attitude makes me think and ask myself: “Am I closed off waiting for something or do I go out? Do I see other’s needs or am I still concentrating on my own needs, on myself? This is why you have to get out; Look around, and realize that there is a reality different from your own. Not everyone revolves around you, you are not the center of the world.
2) Purified: How many times do our miseries lead us to illness and to feeling impure?; Today your illness may be caused by what you will not accept; something you will not assume, or something you cannot forgive . Ask yourself: “What is making me sick?”
“What does not allow me to enjoy life?” Ask yourself why you feel like you are dragging a heavy weight?” Present yourself before the Lord, so He can heal you.
3) He returned: Return to God and thank Him. He heals and frees us. Return to Him because I am certain there is something that you should thank Him for. Because in this life there is something beautiful that you have done and beauty that you have enjoyed and shared with others. Today, what would you like to thank Him for?
God bless you in the name of the Father …and remember, Heaven is our goal.
