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? Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."
Consideration: Jesus moved with compassion healed the nine lepers. Only one was filled with joy and thanked Jesus; praising God aloud. Do we have the gratitude in our hearts to thank the Lord with joy and praise for all the many blessings he has bestowed on us? Praise be Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer; the Lamb of Almighty God, our Father in heaven; all praise, honor, and glory, this day and for all of eternity! Amen.
