Description

It is easy to forget that every good thing in our lives is a gift from God. The story of the Samaritan leper in today's Gospel highlights this vital truth. Ten lepers were cured by Jesus, but only one returned to thank God and acknowledge Him as the source of his healing. This man recognized that it was God who healed him.


Jesus praised the Samaritan for his gratitude and understanding. He didn't seek recognition for Himself; instead, He wanted to emphasize God's healing power. Jesus said, "Your faith has saved you." This leper had a heart full of gratitude and was able to see God's hand in his healing.


Let us recognize God's work in our lives, praise Him for His goodness, and give thanks for the many blessings we receive.
