Jesus was still pressing toward Jerusalem, taking a road that went along the border between Samaria (considered undesirable territory) and Galilee. On the outskirts of a border town along this road, He was greeted from a distance by a group of 10 people who were under quarantine because of an ugly and disgusting skin disease known as leprosy.  Lepers (shouting across the distance): Jesus, Master, show mercy to us! Jesus: Go now and present yourselves to the priests for inspection of your disease.  They went, and before they reached the priests, their skin disease was healed, leaving no trace of the disease that scarred them and separated them from the community. One of them, the instant he realized he had been healed, turned and ran back to Jesus, shouting praises to God. He prostrated himself facedown at Jesus’ feet.  Leper: Thank You! Thank You!  Now this fellow happened to be, not a Jew, but a Samaritan.

Let's Pray. Lord, thank you for your word. Thank you for your healing - literally - and thank you for your walk on this earth so that we may experience your miracles and your grace and mercy. Lord, as we try to follow you in everything that you do, look to you for guidance and celebrate your resurrection, help us to be grateful - not only for our own healing and redemption, but for the opportunity to tell our story in light of your grace and mercy. Then, give that gift to others to be a light and spread the Good News and to bring about the kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven. In your name, amen
