Today’s Gospel

On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus passed through Samaria and Galilee, and as he entered a village, ten lepers came to meet him. Keeping their distance, they called to him, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” Jesus said to them, “Go, and show yourselves to the priests.” Then, as they went on their way, they found they were cured. One of them, as soon as he saw that he was cleansed, turned back, praising God in a loud voice; and throwing himself on his face before Jesus, he gave him thanks. This man was a Samaritan.

Then Jesus asked him, “Were not all ten healed? Where are the other nine? Did none of them decide to return and give praise to God, but this foreigner?” And Jesus said to him, “Stand up and go your way; your faith has saved you.”

Today’s Reflection

On the 28th Sunday in Ordinary time, the encounter of Jesus with the ten lepers reminds us to be grateful in our lives, especially for the mercy and goodness of God for us. Out of the ten lepers, one who is a Samaritan returns to Jesus, praising God and expressing his gratitude for the healing and goodness of God. This gesture of thanksgiving is a reminder of a sense of gratitude to God, an explicit transformation of faithfulness to the miracles of God for each of us.
