Our Gospel for Nov 25. Thanksgiving Day.

Luke 17:11-19

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem,
he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten persons with leprosy 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.”


Lucas 17:11-19

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Sampung Ketongin

Umahon si Jesus patungong Jerusalem. Nangyari na siya ay dumaan sa gitna ng Samaria at Galilea. Sa kaniyang pagpasok sa isang nayon, sinalubong siya ng sampung lalaking may ketong. Ang mga ito ay nakatayo sa malayo. Nilakasan nila ang kanilang tinig at kanilang sinabi: Guro, kahabagan mo kami.

Nakita sila ni Jesus. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Humayo kayo at magpakita kayo sa mga saserdote. At nangyari, sa paghayo nila, sila ay nalinis.

Nang makita ng isa sa kanila na siya ay gumaling, bumalik siya. Sa malakas na tinig, niluwalhati niya ang Diyos. Nagpatirapa siya na nagpapasalamat kay Jesus. Ang lalaking ito ay isang taga-Samaria.

Sinabi ni Jesus: Hindi ba sampu ang nilinis? Nasaan ang siyam? Ang dayuhan lang bang ito ang bumalik upang magbigay ng kaluwalhatian sa Diyos? Sinabi niya sa kaniya: Bumangon ka at humayo. Pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya.

Gratitude is the Hallmark of the Christian life and the Foundation of Christian Stewardship.
We have so many things to be thankful for. Our life, our family, our health, the food that we eat daily, our friends, our community and many many more. Let's make it a habit to be grateful everyday and say thank you more often.

As Meister Eckhart said: If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. (1260 –1327), a German theologian and philosopher.

Lord Thank You for the privilege to serve you.

Please pray with us for the success of our forthcoming Marriage Encounter Weekend Seminar: Class 69, on Nov 26, 27 and 28 at Dinalupihan Bataan.

God bless you all more than you can ever imagine!
