Happy Thanksgiving!
The Gospel of Luke today presents us of a story of thanksgiving. There were ten lepers and one, the Samaritan, returns to Jesus to thank him for healing him after showing the Temple priests are required by Jesus. The man's faith had saved him.
What a curious thing though. Where were the others? They were Jewish like Jesus. Yet, they did not return to acknowledge the great thing that he had done for them, namely restoring their lives to them. Lepers were considered the walking dead, no one wanted to have anything to do with them. We are healed in big and small ways each day and we look for the gift of everlasting life which God alone can grant us. Let us be thankful to Him today.
