28th Sunday of

Ordinary Time

“Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are

the other nine?” Jesus had worked a miracle of

healing for ten people afflicted with leprosy. They had

cried out for him to have pity on them, and he did. But

only one member of this group took the time to return

to Jesus, fall at his feet, and thank him. Why?

Perhaps some were so busy rejoicing that they

forgot to give thanks. Perhaps others thought they

deserved to be healed and thus did not think in terms

of gratitude for the miracle. Maybe some in the group

weren’t sure that the healing was going to last. Or,

possibly, some of them were just selfish and lazy.

Whatever the case, Jesus affirms the one man who

does the right thing: “Stand up and go; your faith has

saved you.” Jesus thus establishes this Samaritan man

as our example. We too are to glorify “God in a loud

voice” for all that he has done for us.

So, what exactly has God done for us? What are

the miracles in our lives that we have failed to notice,

to believe, or to appreciate? Undoubtedly the answers

will be different for everyone, with one main

exception: we are all called to give thanks for the gift

of life, of course. This is the first miracle God worked

on our behalf! Bringing us into existence to live and

love is a gift we might tend to take for granted. But

surely, we can be thankful for more.

We would all do well to reflect on the multitude

of God’s gifts in our lives. Sometimes we have to

pause long enough to think and recognize those things

we should be grateful for. But a little effort in this

regard is well worth it to avoid being like the

ungrateful lepers. Instead, may we be the ones who

give thanks where thanks is due.
