St. Margaret Mary Alacoque HEALING AND SALVATION The readings today speak of healing and salvation. In Second Kings, Naaman, a com- mander of the army of the king of Syria, develops leprosy. He goes to a stranger, a proph- et from Israel, when no one else can cure his disease. Much to his surprise, after a simple bath in the river, he is cured. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus cures ten lepers and sends them to the priest. Only one, a Samaritan, returns to thank Jesus for his cure and only he hears the words, “Your faith has saved you.” The psalm and Timothy remind us that salvation in- volves justice, kindness, and faithfulness and forever links us with Jesus. In a world as bro- ken as ours, both healing and salvation are necessary. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
