Hello, Reader!
Join us for worship! This morning, we gather for Mass, and we would love for you to be with us. We hope you'll join us both as we grow together in prayer, praise, and fellowship.
Readings for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
A Brief Study of Today’s Readings
- 2 Kings 5:1-3, 7-15c: Naaman, a powerful commander, is healed of leprosy when he humbly obeys God’s simple instruction to wash in the Jordan River. He declares, “There is no God in all the earth except in Israel.”
- Psalm 111: A song of thanksgiving that praises God’s marvelous deeds, faithfulness, and justice; “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”
- 2 Timothy 2:8-15: Paul encourages Timothy to remember Jesus Christ and endure hardships faithfully, steering clear of pointless arguments and accurately conveying the word of truth.
- Luke 17:11-19: Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one, a Samaritan, returned to give thanks. This prompted Jesus to ask, “Were not ten made clean? But where are the other nine?”
These readings encourage us to practice humble obedience, express gratitude, and engage in faithful service. God’s healing is not found in grand gestures, but in simple faith and trust. Like the grateful Samaritan, let us return to Jesus with thanks for all the blessings we have received.
