| GOSPEL SUMMARY | |||
|
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C
October 10, 2010 Read Sunday's Gospel, Luke 17:11-19. Gospel Summary Jesus healed ten lepers in Sunday's Gospel, but only one (an unlikely one, at that!) came back to thank Jesus and give praise to God. Jesus wondered where the others were and why they didn't think to praise God for their healing. Reflection for Families It's unlikely that the lepers in Sunday's Gospel weren't happy about being healed from a dreaded disease that isolated them from their family and friends. However, they never said thank you to Jesus. Maybe they were too busy, too excited, too preoccupied, or too thoughtless. As parents, we have certainly experienced a lack of gratitude from our children. We know they are truly grateful for their home, the food they eat, the bed they sleep in, the clothes they wear, the taxi service we provide and the hours we spend playing with them. But most kids are not often there with a big hug and Thank You! Yet, our love does not diminish in the carelessness of our children, just as God's healing did not disappear from the lepers. Likewise, even though we forget to thank God and praise him for all our rich blessings, healings, and mercy, the gift of love keeps coming, just as our love continues for our children |
