Liturgical readings
2 Kings 5:14-17
Psalm 98
2 Timothy 2:8-13
Luke 17:11-19
The Samaritan came back praising God in a loud voice.
On his journey to Jerusalem
Jesus passed along the borders
of Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village,
ten lepers met him.
Keeping their distance,
they raised their voices
and said,
"Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
When he saw them,
he responded,
"Go and show yourselves to the priests."
On their way there
they were cured.
One of them,
realizing that he had been cured,
came back praising God in a loud voice.
He threw himself on his face
at the feet of Jesus
and spoke his praises.
This man was a Samaritan.
Jesus took the occasion to say,
"Were not all ten made whole?
Where are the other nine?
Was there no one to return and give thanks to God
except this foreigner?"
He said to the man,
"Stand up
and go your way;
your faith has been your salvation."
Scripture verses from the readings:
"Naaman's flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean of his leprosy." (2 Kings 5)
"He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel." (Psalm 98)
"If we hold out to the end we shall also reign with him." (2 Timothy 2)
