Luke 17:11–19
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going
through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten
lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show
yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of
them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud
voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a
Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine,
where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except
this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith
has made you well.”
Reflection
• What have I taken for granted this
day, for which I can now be grateful?
• Can I name the ten ordinary miracles of my life: health, my
senses, family, love, friendship, meaning, nature, beauty, music, laughter? Are
there other little miracles I would add?
