Points to Ponder

On the Road Again: Get up and go! God wants us to persevere in the journey of life. The lepers were cleansed ‘as they were going.’ What if they had never set out? Would they still have been cleansed? Because of their faith in Jesus, they were able to take steps in obedience and for this they were richly rewarded. Even after the one leper returned cleansed to thank Jesus, he was set in motion. Jesus told him, ‘Stand up and go!’ God has a mission for each one of us. He is telling us, ‘Don’t worry, but do get a move on!’

Overcoming Leprosy: Nine of the ten lepers were infected with the ‘leprosy’ of ingratitude. The man who returned to Christ, however, sets us an admirable example for us. We who have been cured of worse than leprosy – our sins – do we give thanks to God and bless his name? Gratitude expands our hearts, and makes them more like his heart. The Greek word ‘Eucharist’ means ‘thanksgiving,’ so every time we go to Mass we are living the feast of Thanksgiving!   Hearts Full of Gratitude: What lessons from today’s Gospel can we bring to this feast of Thanksgiving? Let us care for the sick, welcome foreigners, and have compassion for the suffering. Let us walk with faith, obedient to God’s commands. Let us count on the Lord for healing of our ‘leprosies.’ On this day of Thanksgiving, may we also show gratitude for our family by always remembering to give thanks for all that they do, and especially for all that they simply are – our family.
