13th Sunday After Pentecost Reflection: The One Who Returned
Manage episode 504181738 series 3680461
On this 13th Sunday After Pentecost in the Traditional Latin Mass, we reflect on the Gospel of the ten lepers and the call to grateful faith. Ten lepers, cast out and forced to keep their distance, cry out to Jesus for mercy. All are healed, but only one—a Samaritan—turns back, falls at His feet, and gives thanks. The Fathers of the Church saw in that one a sign of true faith: a heart that not only receives healing but returns to glorify God. The prayers and readings this Sunday remind us that everything begins and ends in mercy: God hears the cries of the poor, fulfills His promises, and gives us more than we can return. Like the Samaritan, we are invited to live each day as a returning people—a living thanksgiving at the feet of Jesus.
