Good Morning.
It's 8:00 AM and we're already rushing. We're off to pick up Joshua at
MSP and then Jacob at Mankato. There's not much one can add to the
Gospel reading for today.
Luke 17:11-19
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between
Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him.
Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, ‘Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us!’ When he saw them, he said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves
to the priests.’ And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of
them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a
loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’* feet and thanked him. And
he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, ‘Were not ten made clean? But the
other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give
praise to God except this foreigner?’ Then he said to him, ‘Get up and
go on your way; your faith has made you well.’
Ingratitude is
the heart of all sin. If we remember that God is our source, then
living out a life of loving gratitude becomes the obvious and only
choice.
Blessings.
