In today's Gospel reading from Luke, as Jesus was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, 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; he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. How often do we give thanks to God for giving us life and sustaining our existence? On top of it all, do we ever thank him for showing his greatest love by sacrificing his own divine Son on the cross so that we may have eternal life in heaven? How thickheaded can we be?
