About this sermon
When Our Lord heals ten lepers in Luke 17:11–19, only one returns to give thanks. This homily reflects on why gratitude matters, how Jesus honors the Law by sending the men to the priests, and how a real encounter with God calls each of us to respond personally, not merely as part of a crowd. Drawing on the Gospel and a psychological insight often associated with Carl Jung about authentic religious experience, we ask: What grace have I received—and how will I live my thanksgiving? 🙏 If this message helps you, please like, comment, and share it with someone who needs encouragement today. 📖 Gospel: Luke 17:11–19 — Jesus heals ten lepers; one—a Samaritan—returns to give thanks. 🔔 Subscribe for more Catholic homilies and Gospel reflections.
