28th SUNDAY -C-

2 Kings 5: 14-17; Psalm 98; 2 Timothy 2: 8-13; Luke 17:11-19

by Jude Siciliano, OP

 


Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.


From today’s Gospel reading:

 

When Jesus saw the lepers, he said,

“Go show yourselves to the priests.”

As they were going they were cleansed.”

 

Reflection:

 

The lepers’ cure came as they traveled. Perhaps we too realize that the healings we need, the physical, emotional and spiritual ones, don’t happen all at once, but occur as we travel, step by step, through life. Isn’t that the way most of us come to wholeness – step by step – with the help of trusted family, friends, counselors, teachers, etc. who help us experience cleansing and renewal? Do we “realize,” as the cured leper did, that it is Jesus who is the source of our healing? 

 

So, we ask ourselves:

  • Can I name some of the healings that have happened in my life through faith?

  • How have I returned thanks to God for those healings?
