Sometimes, we forget that every good thing we have in our lives is a gift from God. The story of the Samaritan leper in today's Gospel reminds us of this vital truth. Ten lepers were cured by Jesus, but only one returned to thank God and acknowledge Him as the source of his healing. This man recognized that God had cured him.
Jesus praised the Samaritan for his gratitude and insight. He didn't seek any thanks for Himself but rather for God's healing power. Jesus said, "Your faith has saved you." This leper had a heart full of gratitude and saw God's hand in his recovery.
May we recognize God's work in our lives, praise Him for His goodness, and give thanks for the many blessings we receive.
