Father Sean's Weekly Message
October 12, 2025
“As Christ makes his way to the cross, he accedes to the pleas of ten lepers for pity. The consummation of the Samaritan leper's healing happens when he falls at the feet of Jesus in thanksgiving. Which makes Jesus ask, 'Where are the other nine?' Saint Paul warns: 'If we deny him, he will deny us.' The formerly skeptical Naaman returns to Elisha filled with gratitude and praise for God once his leprosy is healed by plunging into the Jordan. He resolves to live the rest of his life worshiping no other god but the Lord. Fervent thanksgiving prevents us from ever denying God; it keeps us strong in the faith that saves us." (Magnificat, October 2025, pg. 170)
