Only ONE Returned to Thank Jesus… Are You That One? | Our Great Cause for Gratitude

About this sermon

Today’s homily reflects on two powerful Gospel passages from St. Luke: the parable of the Good Samaritan and the healing of the ten lepers—one of whom, a Samaritan, returned to give thanks. The Fathers of the Church draw both allegorical and moral lessons: Allegorical Sense: The Good Samaritan represents Christ, who brings healing where the Old Law could not. The healed Samaritan leper symbolizes the grateful Christian, redeemed by grace. Moral Sense: We are called to practice mercy like the Good Samaritan, and to imitate the healed leper in gratitude—especially for the gift of being Catholic. Father also shares his personal testimony of baptism in 1996, his journey through seminary, and his deep gratitude for serving at St. Mary’s these past 14 years. This sermon invites us to: ✨ Recognize God’s grace in our lives ✨ Show gratitude in prayer and daily living ✨ Remain faithful as Catholics in a world that has lost its way Key Reflection: Be that “one in ten” who returns to thank God on your knees—for the gift of faith, for the Church, and for the sacraments of salvation. 🙏 “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” 📌 Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction 0:38 – Gospel of the Good Samaritan and Healing of the Lepers 2:00 – Allegorical Meaning of the Samaritans 3:40 – Moral Teaching: Gratitude vs Ingratitude 5:00 – Thanksgiving as a Form of Prayer 6:00 – Personal Testimony: Baptism and Call to Priesthood 8:00 – Serving St. Mary’s and Witnessing God’s Grace 9:20 – Hope for the Restoration of the Church 10:00 – Call to Be the Grateful Samaritan For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Homily #GoodSamaritan #SundaySermon #CatholicFaith #GospelOfLuke #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicChurch #Thanksgiving #CatholicHomily #Faith #Gratitude 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
