Breaking the Word of God - Homily for Sunday 9th October 2022. " Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?" What do we learn from the narratives of the 10 lepers and the healing of Naaman the leper? Do share the good news . God Bless !!! First Reading: 2 Kings 5:14-17 Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of Elisha, the man of God. His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean of his leprosy. Naaman returned with his whole retinue to the man of God. On his arrival he stood before Elisha and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel. Please accept a gift from your servant." Elisha replied, "As the LORD lives whom I serve, I will not take it;" and despite Naaman's urging, he still refused. Naaman said: "If you will not accept, please let me, your servant, have two mule-loads of earth, for I will no longer offer holocaust or sacrifice to any other god except to the LORD." Second Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8-13 Beloved: Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David: such is my gospel, for which I am suffering, even to the point of chains, like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory. This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him. But if we deny him he will deny us. If we are unfaithful he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. Gospel Reading: Luke 17:11-19 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 voices, 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." #TodayGospelReading #GospelReadingforToday #gospelandreflection Your queries: Sunday Mass Readings for 2022 Next Sunday readings and reflection Catholic Mass Readings for Today Catholic Daily Readings 2022 PDF Mass readings for tomorrow Catholic readings for Today and Reflections Tomorrow's readings Catholic Mass and Reflection Usccb readings Sunday gospel reflection Gospel for Today Catholic Mass readings for this Sunday Sunday Homily Catholic Mass Readings for this Sunday 2022 Gospel for Today Reflection Next Sunday readings and reflection 9th Oct 2022 Homily 9tj Oct 2022 Sermon Naaman lepers 10 lepers 0:00 Introduction 0: 20 Healing of Naaman 3: 27 2 Timothy 2:8-13 4: 06 Healing of Ten Lepers
