Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Oct. 12, 2025
Today's readings extol the virtue of gratitude. We hear first of Naaman, a foreigner, who is so grateful to Elisha and The Lord for curing his leprosy that he returns to offer gifts. In the Gospel, another foreigner - a Samaritan - returns to Jesus to offer thanks after his leprosy is cured. May we be as grateful as them for God's blessings upon us, starting with our "Thanks be to God" for the saving power of God's word.
