As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him
and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"
And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"
Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."
- Luke 17:11-19
Reflection:
While attending the mass, the priest asked the people of what is the their reason of going to church, whether its out of following the church rules or being grateful for all the blessings that came into their lives. And so I was moved for the fact that there are really instances that I just go to church out of obligation and some times being only forced by friends, parents and my girlfriend. The challenge here now to all of us would be seeing all the things that goes into our lives as blessings and be thankful enough for all of them :D
