October 14, 2007- 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

2 Kgs 5:14-17; Lk 17:11-19
My favorite words from the Gospel today was, "He was a Samaritan." The context is that he was the only one out of ten whom realized that once he was healed he turned around and went back to Jesus and gave praise and thanks to God. Hmmm. Where will I go with this one????


Wait for it.......


Wait longer for it.......


Patience is a virtue that must be fostered in all things.......


The analogy can be applied today to those who are excited and living out their faith. Not always, but usually those that are truly on fire in their faith are usually converts or those that have had a significant conversion experience. We cradle catholics just take it for granted and do not thank God for what he does for us in our lives. So who are we, the samaritan or the nameless nine???????

On other notes, it is twelve days and counting! I will be working as a transitional deacon at St. Joseph's in Round Lake which is a bilingual parish with a great diversity and welcoming people.
