Thankfulness

After a very looooooooooooooong day, I just wish to share with you one little remark from today's gospel (Lk 17:11-19) about the 10 lepers.  All of them were cleansed, but only one was healed.  Many times we like to think that we have been healed of a certain defect or of a certain fault, but then, it pops up its head again!  Let us ask for the grace to be healed of our innermost hurts and the grace to be thankful for everything we have already received.  Note that it was only after the leper came back to thank Jesus that he heard the words, "Your faith has saved you!"  Let us thank the Lord so we may also hear him say to us, "Your faith has saved you."
